Hey, Matt.
Sorry for punching you that day...
Hey!
It wasn't totally my fault!
You were trying to punch me, too.
And it hurt.
I just want to be your friend, Matt, but...
I just can't.
Sorry.
We're rivals; you know that, right?
Boy, if you didn't, you'd really be dumb.
Heh... sorry, I'm just having a hard time saying this.
I don't want to be your enemy, Matt.
I don't want to hurt you.
I don't want to fight you.
I just want to be your friend.
Your companion.
Amigo.
Truce?
I'm sorry for punching you.
I should have remembered that you were worried about T.K.
I was such an idiot.
I know that I'm a dense person sometimes, Matt.
But, really...
I do understand.
I have a little sister at home.
Her name's Kari, and she's T.K.'s age.
I miss her a lot, really, I do...
She's a sweetheart kind of girl...
If anything happened to her, I'd be devestated.
I didn't think that you'd feel the same way about T.K., Matt...
...guess I was wrong.
So, really, Matt...
I want to be your friend.
I'm friends with everyone else, or, at least, I hope so...
You're the only one that I haven't reached out, too.
That was my fault.
I should have reached out to you sooner.
You just...
...seemed so cold....
Not caring.
I was afraid.
I'm not afraid anymore, Matt.
I want to be your friend.
I'm willing to forgive you for all the things that you've done or said to me...
All the insults...
All the fighting...
I'm willing to forgive you.
But are you willing?
Are you willing to forget it all?
To put the past behind us?
Are you willing?
Are you willing to forgive me?
A/N: My entry to SweedySwee's Tai/Matt Friendship Contest'. This poem takes place after Subzero Ice Punch', and it's about, if you haven't guess, Tai asking Matt to forgive him and asking to be friends.
Also, a note to someone who asked... P.W.A.P. = Poem With A Plot. This fic wasn't a P.W.A.P., it was just a poem. Also, to DCI... yes, I do enter a lot of contests. Get over it. ^^; J/K, DCI!
Arigatou for reading, and please review! (BTW, Gem Warriors, for anyone who cares, is coming out within a day or two, just to tell ya!) Ja ne! Kyra-chan
