Author's Note: This is a poem of Kurei to Kurenai before Kurenai was killed and she wished that she can be with him (for eternity). I wrote this with the assumption that Kurei somehow discovered about the fate that awaits Kurenai if he doesn't put an end to their relationship...

Forbidden Love: A Poem of Kurei to Kurenai
by ARaZhi

It was not so long ago
when I thought I'd never meet someone like you.
Wrong was I, thinking I'm in control
Believing I'd never fall.

All my life I thought no one would
melt a heart like mine, a heart so cold.
A heart hardened by the past
protected by shields so vast.

Slowly I was falling...
without even knowing...
Only to find out too late.
I have no choice but to accept my fate.

I could dream, I suppose.
Forever I could hope.
But to be apart is our destiny.
I had to wake up to reality.

I lied when I said
I didn't love you.
That my feelings for you
are through.

I lied
not because I wanted to.
But because I love you
and I still do.

I wouldn't do a thing to hurt you.
That is why I have to let go.
I wish I can be with you forever.
But I just can't be with you any longer.
