Opening Notes - Wow. I totally haven't written…well, anything! O.O I decided to change that. Nyahaha. Don't ask where this poem came from. A while back, I shredded (almost) everything I'd written more recently. I got a some bad comments…and my friend hated me for shredding "her" story. Meh, sorry, Autumne-chan! Actually, she's the reason I'm posting this poem here. I had been reading Loveless, as was she, and I had her read this. She said it sounded almost like Ritsuka talking to Soubi, sort of. So that's how you came to be reading this. Reviews and concrit appreciated.

Disclaimer - I don't own Loveless. Otherwise, Seimei and Soubi wouldn't be complete BLOCKHEADS, and Ritsuka's mother would quit being such a whiny bitch. RAWR.

Loving You

"I love you."

Empty words.

Nothing, nothing, nothing.

That's all they are.

Gentle brush of lips, enough to make one giddy;

Harmless teasing;

Standing even the most irritating of things.

Staying up late to watch one's lover sleep.

One knows everything about the person one loves;

One notices the little details.

The smile, the laugh, the innocent, insignificant habits.

One thinks about him or her -

Always, always, always.

"I love you."

Liar.

"I love you."

You're such a liar!

"I love you."

I'd know if you were telling the truth,

But you're not.

"I love you."

You can't love me.

"I love you."

I'm sorry.

"I love you."

I can't let myself believe you.

"I love you."

What if it's just a lie?

"I love you."

The pain would be unbearable…

"I love you."

Because…I love you too.
