Midnight Meditation ( Ru's POV )
Here I am again, walking aimlessly in the middle of the night.
This has been going for a while now. Me, sneaking out of my room at midnight then trudging my way around, then going back to my house at 3 a.m.
I don't know why, maybe it's because at this time of night, I could think...
I inhaled the fresh cold air brought by the night breeze. I looked around and saw the silhouette of the Sakura trees. Its spring time and the Sakura petal are starting to bloom.
My blue eyes surveyed the tree. It's really is very beautiful. Pretty petals covering the ugly branches, making the whole tree very beautiful.
Just like that someone, a beautiful being that covers the horrible feeling of emptiness inside me. Just by his presence he could make my life more beautiful. More livable.
And ever since I saw him, my miserable life has been more tolerable. More meaningful. But somehow, more painful...
When I saw him, I wish to be with him, and that wish was granted. He became my teammate, a fire that not only ignites me but the whole team; the clinched is... he doesn't want to be with me.
I wish to be the one who will teach him the beauty of basketball, but instead he saw me as the beauty that stole the limelight whenever I touched the ball.
I wish to be someone who he'll always see, and now he sees me as his enemy.
Life could not be as unhumorously funny as this, ain't it? My wishes are always granted but not the way I like it.
I sighed, could it be… Could it be that I've never wished the right wish yet?
I look up at the sky and saw that the sky looks beautiful with the stars twinkling.
I'll try… one more time... And this time I'll wish with all my heart. For me… For us…
I took a deep breath and closed my eyes and whispered, I wish that he would love me too like I love him. Without a lie, without a trace of hate, without pain, without a doubt. Forever we will be together. That's what I wish… That's what I want…
I opened my eyes and to my surprise the star twinkled unusually bright right at that moment.
When I saw that, I've done something I haven't done for a long time, I smiled...
Turning around, I finally resolved to myself that tomorrow I'll tell him that I love him; after all, wishes do come true like you wished to, right?

Wish is nothing but a collection of words,
You can even put it in paper or boards,
But if you wish with all your heart,
Even a blank paper can be a work of art…
