There's Another Me
by Yamato-chan

I knew, I'd realized
What it was I really wanted to do
But I hid
Behind my glasses
If you know what the outcome will be
Then why bother?

I was scared. I wanted to be a doctor but I was afraid to brave life alone. I needed
someone to live with. I wanted that to be Mimi, but I hid from her. I never told her my
feelings.

That's what I used to think
There are plenty of things
That you can change yourself
There's another me
Overflowing the Earth
There's another me
Waiting in the future

Then one day I asked Mimi if she wanted to go out with me. You know what she said? "No,
Joe. I'm sorry, but this isn't a good time." she said. That broke my heart. But maybe the other
me has a nice girlfriend. I will become the other me!

The important thing is to believe
And to knock on that unkown door
I kept quiet, even though I knew
That I could do it
But I was afraid
To break the rules

I didn't used to believe in the future. To me, the future was one second later. Then I
entered that new dimension and met me. I wanted to become that other me, but then I'd be out of
luck if the other me wasn't good enough for Mimi.

If it hurts you
Then why do it?
I made fun of people like that
There are many things you won't understand
Unless you get hurt

I used to laugh at people who were afraid to get hurt. I joked about their fears. That is,
until the other me pointed out my own faults. I felt bad because I had made someone feel bad by
seeing what they weren't instead of what they were. The other me wouldn't do that.

There's another me
Hidden in my heart
There's another me
That no one knows
I'm sure you realize it, too

The other me will someday visit, and he'll go up to Mimi and ask her out. She'll say yes,
because she'll be impressed with his talents. He'll step back and let me take her and hold her
tightly.

Awaken your unknown self
There's another me
Overflowing the Earth
There's another me
Waiting in the future
The important thing is to believe
And to knock on that unkown door

I found the other me, and it changed my life. If you look at yourself, you really can see
what you need to do. I put away my fears and asked Mimi again. She said yes. But then again,
you don't need the other you. You can do it. I could've done it all along.
~END~
Sorry, I don't write Joe well. It wasn't the best story, was it?
