A/N: This piece is inspired by someone whom I've known since sixth grade. If you all don't mind, I 'd like to keep his name anonymous. But this is written in Asuka's POV. To those who know me VERY well, you probably know who I'm talking about here...

Reach

I've loved you for as long as I can remember

Way back when I was very young,

I always saw you with your crew

Either rocking out to your heart's content

Or causing a big brawl in the streets.

You sing to make others feel good

And you fight for the good of others,

Like I would when those I care about are in trouble.

That's a couple of things that drew me to you.

Your dark eyes were what caught me the most.

I found myself thinking about you more and more

After I stopped and looked into those...

I don't even know how to describe

How lovely they are...

Your melodic singing voice soothes me.

Makes me feel better after I've had a hard day.

But it is more than your beauty that struck me.

You are a rather strange, stubborn and optimistic man.

You just fascinate me for a reason I can't quite figure out.

You've had your share of hard times;

immersing yourself in all kinds of vices

And losing friends and loved ones along the way.

You carried a lot of weight on your shoulders

But through it all , you managed to stay strong

And come out on top.

Your endless optimism made me think that

I could get through my own hard times

And that's what makes me love you even more.

Right now I wish that I could reach you;

Tell you how much you've made my life brighter

And how much I love you

Although right now is defintely impossible,

I am still praying for the day that I will get to see you up close

And tell you how I feel

You will always have a special place in my heart

Now and forevermore...

A/N: Yeah, I've been in love with this person ever since sixth grade. And that was nine years ago. And believe me, I KNOW it's not just a childhood crush. I hadn't seen or heard from him ever since I started college. But now, many years later, he is still on my mind...To be honest, there is no need to leave a review. I am just happy to let all these feelings out. Thank you for reading.
