I guess I knew

all along. Something

small in my mind,

nagging,

whispering,

nudging,

warning.

You had a way

of coming easily to

me—and

when you take

you take the very

best of me.

After all, I was just another

face in the

crowd;

another pair of adoring eyes

that you

don't

need.

And you do what you want

'cus I'm not what

you wanted.

You put up walls and I

stood there

loving you

and wished them all

away.

The part of me

that loved you so

insanely—

hoped and hoped and

hoped.

And you come away

with a great

little story, of a

mess of a dreamer with the

nerve to adore you.

But there's always a time

when you have to wake

up from dreaming,

brush your teeth,

wash your face,

carry on with life.

Forgetting becomes your

only option.

It took me so long

to figure

out

you never did give a

damn thing

honey.

Stop pretending stop

dreaming.

But I cried,

cried,

and I know you

wouldn't have told anybody if

I died for you.

Every smile

you fake is so

condescending

counting all the

scars you made.

Took so long to

find an exit door away

from you,

but now that I'm sitting here

thinking

it through:

even if I can leave,

where would

I

go?


A/N: Please tell me what you think! I was considering doing a whole oneshot for this, but I decided to just go with trying to capture Sakuno's raw emotions.
