I do not own Fruits Basket or any of the characters in the anime or mange.

I dreamed of you when I fell asleep

I dreamed of what we once had

I dreamed of what our life could have been

Had we not been bound by the Zodiac curse

The curse kept me from you

But in truth I used the curse as an excuse

An excuse to hurt you

An excuse to leave you

An excuse to pretend what we had never existed

Although I do not show it

I still care for you

Though I know if I told you

You would not believe me

I know I cannot ask for forgiveness

Not after I betrayed you with your mother

But I can still hope

One day you will be free of the curse

By then I hope you have learned to accept yourself

And become the woman I always knew you could be

Until that day I will keep to the shadows

Secretly watching you

Hoping for the day you are free

And that you can possibly forgive me

Tell me if anyone seems out of character. Comment if you like my poem.
