Why Do I Love You?

A/N: Yay! Another Avatar fic. :) Thanks to the freaking Avatar Marathon on Nicktoons, I'm totally hooked. XD This is a poem from Mai's POV.


I can't explain, not even in a thousand words,

Why it is that I still love you.

You turned away from me, and ran.

And for what?

To spite your father? To escape from me?

I just can't make sense of it.

0 - 0 - 0

Did all of our love mean nothing to you?

Without you in my life,

I have nothing to live for.

I may have everything any girl could want,

But I still don't have you.

And you're the one I want.

Without you, I have absolutely nothing.

You were everything to me.

0 - 0 - 0

So, why did you run away?

Did you hate me?

Because I didn't hate you.

I loved you.

Loved you more than anything.

But still you ran.

Turned your back on me, on your family, your nation.

And for what, dare I ask?

0 - 0 - 0

I get the feeling that I hate you now.

But something else tells me,

"You love him."

I just can't make any sense of it.

So, come home to me, and tell me...

"Why do I love you?"


Obviously, Mai was upset when Zuko just up and left the Fire Nation without telling her. And I sympathize. I'd be pissed, too. XD Poor Mai. I hope you enjoyed this. :) Please review!
