Love

I never thought

Of this word

Until I meet his

Forbidding gaze.

Yuji Saki.

The torch holding

The Midnight Lost Child.

My heart grew heavier

Each day,

Especially around him.

At first,

I wanted to escape

This feeling,

But now

I am ready to face

This emotion in the face.

Love.

Something every girl falls

Into. Unable to defeat

This warmth, I embraced

It. Yuji's smile,

His voice,

His soul…

It all lit

The flame in my soul

That I feel made me

Claim the title

Of 'Red hair, Blazing Eyed Hunter'.

Did I know my fate?

I wonder as I bite

Off of a piece of warm melon bread

With Yuji.
