A/N: Okay, this is my first songfic! I think this song was made for Kenshin and Tomoe! I was listening to the radio, and this song came on! I was like, whoa, this sounds like Kenshin! I didn't even know who sang it so I was searching the internet for awhile, but I finally found it! Anyway, please give it a try!

Disclaimer: I don't own Rurouni Kenshin , or 'The Reason'. It belongs to Hoobastank!

I'm not a perfect person

There's many things I wish I didn't do

But I continue learning

I never meant to do those things to you

I thought I was going to be happy with you for the rest of my life. You brought me happiness I could never imagine. I didn't want this to happen. I can't stay here now. There are to many memories.

And so I have to say before I go

That I just want you to know

You changed my life. If it wasn't for you, I wouldn't even be here right now. I was sure that once the war was over, there would be no need for me, that I would be shunned from the rest of the world because of my past.

I've found a reason for me

To change who I used to be

A reason to start over new

and the reason is you

And this is how I repay you. First I brought you sadness by murdering your first love. Now I take your own life. I'm was selfish. Why did you leave me?

I'm sorry that I hurt you

It's something I must live with everyday

And all the pain I put you through

I wish that I could take it all away

I wanted to bring you back happiness. I was hoping we could share joy and sorrow together. But I ruined everything again.

And be the one who catches all your tears

That's why I need you to hear

I hope you find happiness in your afterlife, but don't forget me. I was the one that sent you there. I was the one that made you leave this place, but you'll be happier away from me.

I've found a reason for me

To change who I used to be

A reason to start over new

and the reason is You

I promised you that I'd live. I'll do it for you. I know it'll be hard, that's why I have to do it. I can't take the easy way out. I have to live to make up for all I've done. I will help other people as you have helped me.

I'm not a perfect person

I never meant to do those things to you

And so I have to say before I go

That I just want you to know

Please forgive me for everything that I have ever done to you I even took you away from other people and made you live alone in a cabin. Please forgive me.

I've found a reason for me

To change who I used to be

A reason to start over new

and the reason is you

I've found a reason to show

A side of me you didn't know

A reason for all that I do

And the reason is you

I love you Tomoe.

AN: Like I said, that was my first songfic. If anyone used this in another songfic, please don't think I'm copying you. Anyway, please review and be nice, because I've never written something like this before!

After note: LoL! As I was editing this, the song came on again, so I was reading along. It was funny! I just thought I'd add that because I have no life!
