Love.
The hardest part of love was...
Was...
Was...
The hardest part of love was being in love.
Love.
Be it friend, family, relative or neighbour.
Once you're roped in, there's no getting out.
And once you lose them, you lose everything.
You lose yourself, you lose your mind...
Most of all...
You lose love itself.
You lose the feeling, the emotions, the sweet kisses...
Tender hugs, gentle touch, lovely voices...
You'll never have them again.
Once you lose them...
Love was so painful.
But why do people continue loving? What, what was their inspiration, their strength to get up every morning?
The will power, what was it that fueled them to live?
The answer was right under my nose.
Love.
These mortals, they fell in love, risked getting hurt...
Why? Wasn't it easier to just close your heart? Shut everyone out?
But no, they were willing to take the risk, to lose it all, just to get a chance to love.
To show concern, passion, kindness...
Just to get the feeling called love, they were willing to risk it all.
Maybe...
Maybe that's why you won, dear brother Suzaku. Because you were willing to risk it all to show you still loved me, to show me the right path...
Love.
Without it...
Where would the world be? Where would I be?
Love.
Maybe...
It was time for me to learn to love again.
