Summary: Complete. Kaoru doesn't know what to do with her hidden feelings. So she writes them down. One Shot!

I'm sorry, but I can't wait any longer. My heart is torn between love and heartbreak. Each passing day my love for you increases, but the sadness grows. Sadness by knowing you don't love me in return.
I keep smiling, but it becomes harder each time I see you. To me, you're the perfect man. Handsome, strong and gentle. But there is a breach between us that can't be bridged by politeness. I can't hear another 'Kaoru-dono' from your lips.
I know you know that there is something wrong with me, but I can't tell what's on my mind to you or anyone else. I need you! Not just your ear for listening. I need your arms around me and your lips whisper that you love me… love me just as much as I love you…
My dreams of the future become nightmares, frightening me when I'm alone at night. My greatest fears are that you reject me or that you leave me. They become alive and no one's there to hold me and scare those thoughts away.
Every day I'm confronted with myself. I know I have a bad temper. I know I can't cook. I know… I look plain and that I can never be enough for a great swordsman like you, Kenshin.
Shadows of Sadness are growing over the love I have for you. My heart breaks if I don't do something. Will I be strong enough to ban you from my heart or will I take the cowards way out. The way to my death.
Dear Kenshin, please forgive me. I can't wait any more…
Burning the letter, she opened the shoji and looked outside. Dawn was near. A new day in the 'life' of Kamiya Kaoru.
