Um, it's a slight drabble I wrote about Kouyuu angst-ing why Kou Reishin doesn't show his love. Trying out poetry this time, please R n R!
I don't own the lovely Saiunkoku Monogatari
Looking at the Plum Blossoms
The windy breeze feels gentle on my face
As I stand in the gardens alone
Underneath the plum blossom trees
Which you named me after
I don't get it, I still don't…
Through all the years
You took care of me
Giving me the best of everything.
In my gratitude I wanted to repay your kindness
So I decided on my fate early on
That I would do whatever you asked
Bringing glory and recognition to your name
Years of sheer work and determination
I carved myself to be someone
People looked up to, people admired
Yet you…
Not a single smile…Nothing.
You didn't even acknowledge it
Probably to your eyes
I'm still the little street urchin you picked up
It hurts…
I don't want anyone else's praises
I only want…your love…
For you to at least be happy with what I've done
It had always been for you…
I gave my everything to you
As your 'only child'
But I will keep trying, Reishin-dono
For your sake only…
Until you see me,
Kouyuu.
