She was nothing to me, and yet she has become my everything.
Her words were nothing more than a sour candy to the tongue. Just like the others, or so I thought.
When did she come to mean so much to me? Wasn't she that naive girl who used to mindlessly cheer for the team? For me? Perhaps that was the reason?
No. I was not a vain man. Nor am I or will I ever be.
Why didn't she let go me? Wasn't I the one who bestowed her with more sneers and disregard than should befit a young woman? Wasn't I the one who rejected her outright? Who gave no thought to her feelings? Cared not to dwell on the unfathomable depth of a woman's tender heart? Tried every cold-hearted way to push her away?
I was a cold-hearted man, but I am not so now...because of her.
Why did she care to acknowledge me when I chose to ignore her every practice? Didn't I blatantly avoid her gaze at every opportunity? Didn't I push her away with increased annoyance and anger every time she tried to gently confront me? Yet she managed to smile. That smile which has become the firefly of my dark mind. The smile that I would die for if I have to.
Perhaps it's because of these things that I finally gave into her. That melted my heart. If only it had happened sooner. If only I hadn't been so oblivious to her compassion, I could have had a happier past.
But it I don't have to worry about that. I have a bright future.
Cause' I'm guided by a firefly.
