Disclaimer: I don't own Negima or the characters. I merely am writing a poem for Kotaro-kun. Written in Mei Sakura's POV.
Dying Inside
I see you
See you hiding
Hiding behind an attitude and loner demeanor
Inside...
Inside you're hurt.
Let me help you
Don't pull away
I just want to be there for you.
Why do you hide like you do?
Why won't you let anyone in?
Can't you see the family in front of you?
A family of friends?
Chizuru.
Natsumi.
Negi.
Konoka.
Nodoka.
Haruna.
Even Asuna and Yue.
And last but not least...
Me.
The one who loves you for you.
Why can't you see us?
Is your hurt blinding you to reality?
Dying...
You're dying inside.
I can feel it.
Please... please...
If you do die...
Take me with you...
My only wish...
Is to be with you forever.
Can't you hear that wish...?
Or even...
A whisper from long ago...?
Can't you hear it, Kotaro?
It says "Aishiteru"...
Another responds...
Can you not hear this one either?
"Aishiteru-mo..."
A voice declares love
Your voice.
You loved me once...
You still do...
Right, Kotaro?
Answer me...
I want to hear your answer...
But all I hear is silence...
My heart's dying gasp.
And now...
Like you...
I'm dying...
Dying inside.
The End
A/N: Dark... yes... but it means something. Please read and review and tell me what you thought...
