Lament For the Willow
By Slumber

Dear Willow,
Are you there?
Can you hear me?
Let me say thank you
You always cared.

Dear Willow,
Where are you?
I've been looking,
Searching.
You promised forever
I ended up with yesterday.

Dear Willow,
I miss you
The way one should wish for the mountains
While in the middle of the sea.
Come back...
Please.

Dear Willow,
I'm sorry.
Did I hurt you?
I guess I did,
More than one would wish to think
But still...
You never got mad.
A silent shadow...
Waiting, watching,
Ready...
Always there.

Dear Willow,
I love you,
More than anything else,
But you didn't know.
None of us did.
I never told you, I never realized,
I suppose what they say is true.
The sun will not come to wake me twice.

Dear Willow,
I regret
Ever having to ignore you
Ever having to brush you off
Ever having to take you for granted,
To think you of less value
Than what you are really worth.
Than what *I* am worth.
I regret
Ever having to put you aside
To give way to greater things
When in fact it is your greatness that surpasses all things
But Time and Fate have collaborated
To make it impossible
To go back and amend mistakes.
That is what I regret the most.

Dear Willow,
I need your shade now
I need your presence
And the unconscious security
It promises,
I need your soothing voice
And the comfort
It provides.

Why is Fate so heartless
As to let me know
I need you
I want you
I love you
When I can no longer have you?

::blink:: I wrote this sometime back, when I was still an FY fan. Strangely enough, as this is from Hotohori's POV, I was a non-supporter for the Hoto-Nuri pair-up. I leaned more to Tasuki and Nuriko. ^_^; If you've noticed, this was supposed to be from Tasuki's POV [One should wish for mountains while in the middle of the sea.. Tasuki doesn't like the sea cause he's a mountain guy, right? ^_~], but somehow it turned into a Hoto. Kind of weird, cause I don't really like the emperor.

Oh well, just means I can get unbiased every now and then. ^_^

Remember, minna-san, FEEDBACK. R&R, onegai?
