A.N. I would like to
start by saying I do not own Ranma (obviously) and this song is Can't
Fight This Feeling by REO Speedwagon, which I also don't own.
This song was released while I was still a young boy, but coming up
with parents that where only teenagers when I was born, songs like
this where what I heard instead of lullabies to go to sleep. So I
have found a love, as I have gotten older, for the music my parents
so introduced to me at an early age. On one last note I wrote this for the pending Valentines Day.
I can't fight this feeling any longer
And yet
I'm still afraid to let it flow
What started out as friendship,
has grown stronger
I only wish I had the strength to let it show
I will have to tell her soon. I can't keep my emotions to myself forever. They are tearing me up not knowing if they are single sided.
I tell myself that I can't hold out forever
I
said there is no reason for my fear
Cause I feel so secure when
we're together
You give my life direction
You make everything
so clear
Fear can no longer hold me. I will control it and let her know at last. "Akane!" I say her name and wait for her to look at me. When her brown eyes stare up at me it sends shivers up my spine. This thrill I get by just her stare is only past by the smile so that makes her so beautiful.
And even as I wander
I'm keeping you in
sight
You're a candle in the window
On a cold, dark winter's
night
And I'm getting closer than I ever thought I might
Here I stand on the fence with her eyes waiting for me to continue. "Um…I don't know how to say this best, but it can't wait any longer." I stop walking and get off the fence. Her eyes look at me with confusion, god she is so beautiful. The closer I get the more my nervousness grows.
And I can't fight this feeling anymore
I've
forgotten what I started fighting for
It's time to bring this ship
into the shore
And throw away the oars, forever
"What is it Ranma?" Her face is just a foot away and her lips are in that cute little frown of hers. It comes from annoyance I know, but I see the kindness in her eyes, even if the mallet does show her anger more often.
"Ranma we are going to be late to school, whatever it is, it can wait I don't want hold buckets today." She is turning to continue walking, it has to be now or I may never get the nerve up again.
Cause
I can't fight this feeling anymore
I've forgotten what I started
fighting for
And if I have to crawl upon the floor
Come
crushing through your door
Baby, I can't fight this feeling
anymore
"Akane, iloveyou." It is almost a whisper, but she heard it. She stopped walking, but didn't turn around. I can only hope she won't laugh at me.
My life has been such a whirlwind since I saw
you
I've been running round in circles in my mind
And it always
seems that I'm following you, girl
Cause you take me to the places
that alone I'd never find
Her head is turning; please Kami let this be good. "Ranma do you mean it?" Well no mallet yet, so far so good.
"Yes Akane I mean it." Her face is glowing or is me?
"Ra-Ranma." She is smiling so this might not go bad after all. "I LOVE YOU TOO!"
And even as I wander I'm keeping you in
sight
You're a candle in the window on a cold, dark winter's
night
And I'm getting closer than I ever thought I might
I feel her in my arms and I swear I would explode if the she wasn't holding me. Can this type of feeling be real. Oh god she said it too. I don't know if I could ever be happier.
And I can't fight this
feeling anymore
I've forgotten what I started fighting for
It's
time to bring this ship into the shore
And throw away the oars,
forever
School is still a few blocks away, but as we walk I don't mind not walking on the fence. Her hand feels to good inside mine. Life feels right now.
Cause I can't fight this feeling anymore
I've
forgotten what I started fighting for
And if I have to crawl upon
the floor
Come crushing through your door
Baby, I can't fight
this feeling anymore.
