Dear Asuka,

I am no hero, I am no savior, and I am just me. I say I'm sorry, I am not

invincible. I hurt when you look at me, I love when you are around me,

and I am whole whenever you touch me. Even if it is only for a brief

moment, I live for those moments. The ones when you don't shut me out.

You push me away, and I don't even try to get close to you. I am a

coward. I say that I want something and never take initiative. I love you, I

hate you, and I am confused. Too much emotion that I've never felt

before. To many ways to be broken, that has yet to be exploited.

Everyone leaves me, maybe that is my destiny, but a touch from you

makes it good to live. Makes me want to live! I would rather live those

brief moments than receive a thousand praises from my father. You are

my life, as stubborn as a mule with a barrier that is bigger than the Great

Wall of China.

If you would just give me a chance I could make you see. You are the

world to me and I would never let you go. I would no longer be spineless

baka invincible Shinji, I would be your Shinji-kun and I would try to

make everyday perfect, because only perfect is good enough for the most

perfect girl in Japan. You are beautiful and intelligent, you have

confidence enough for a small country, and you understand me! Even

though you may not understand, you are the only one that gets me Asuka.

That is why I am writing this, not to tell you but to show you how much I

feel. How much I have felt since that fateful day, when my Dorothy came

back from over the rainbow. You are my everything and you must know

this; in the end it doesn't matter how you treat me I will love you always

and forever.

Always yours, through everything

Love always,
Baka-kun Shinji
