Disclaimer: I don't own Rurouni Kenshin at all... -_-'

This is a poem based off of Kaoru's feelings for Kenshin and her trouble on telling him how she feels ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

To say those words

Those three simple words

Are harder to say then you think

Your smiling face shows your kindness

Your violet eyes showing how much you care

But those words are so hard to say

When to say them

Between all your fights

Whenever you're near me my heart beats so fast

Whenever you're close I feel so different

I always act tough

I always act fair

I always speak up

But then you come

Why can't you see how much you matter to me

Why can't you tell that I need you

You use your sword to protect not kill

You were once an assassin but you are no more

It was confusing when I first met you

It's hard to manage a dojo

It's hard to take care off the people who stay here

But you said you'd help me

You said you'd protect me

Whenever I am sad you are there to dry my tears

Whenever I am alone and scared you appear

You know so much about me

But I know little about you

Why can't I say those three little words?

Why can't I tell you how much I care?

Why must I always be the bait?

Why do you always come after me?

Life and death

Trust and betrayal

Truth and lies

Love and hate

Those are the things I have been through

I don't understand why I can't say those three simple words

I don't understand why you would want to run away

It's so much easier to write then it is to say

I can't say it

I can only write it

Kenshin I love you

I love you

I love you

I love you!

It's so much easier to write

So why can't it be so easy to say

You told me that you'd leave me

You were a wanderer and you should keep wandering

But I won't let you leave me

No matter what

No matter when

No matter where

Until I'm able to say those three words

Those three simple words

To you

Kenshin

Kenshin

I love you

I LOVE YOU!

Ya wanna know something people? In my opinion writing is easier to do then say, so I write my emotions on paper in a poem or a story just like Kaoru did for her love to Kenshin. And people I wanna tell you something, no matter what you do ever you will always have your friends there to support you, to be there for you.
