Author's Note: I just read one of my mom's romance novels - "Suzanne's Diary for Nicholas" by James Patterson. Honestly, it moved me to tears. I had been wanting to write this story for a long time, but that book really inspired me to try to portray these characters as real people and to express different kinds of love. The "Clannad" movie was also a help - which I watched more recently. This was going to be a three-shot, but... as long as three people per chapter ask me to continue, I will keep writing until I reach "the end". I don't want to give too much away just yet, but I will say this acts as a Tokyo Mew Mew prequel and stands alone - it is a different interpretation from any of the other fanfics I have written, even if some names and events are the same. I will reveal more later, in the first actual chapter which I will also post tonight if I can help it, so without further ado...
Black Roses Red
Not a hundred regrets,
Nor a thousand kisses
Could bridge the wide expanse
That stands between You & Me.
This is a story that will never be heard.
It will never be spoken, for I am no longer able to speak it.
It has been lost to the impartiality of time and wounded memory.
I wish I had told it to you back then, back when you were still small enough to fit in our arms, shining like a star, your eyes alert and eager to discover and touch everything. You always loved stories.
You would have really liked this one, too. I just know it.
New York City is very cold.
