Takato's Feelings for Rika

You pass in the hall,
Violet eyes obscured by shades,
Carrying your books for class,
Cool as can be.
How can you know my shadow self
Is watching your every move?

This reminds me of the first time I saw you,
Outside my window that night,
Wielding cards like a master,
Fearing nothing,
Impressive
As usual.

When you mocked my skill
You stung my heart,
It still bleeds today.
You called me a wannabe,
But I tried my best
To please you.

Rika, you remind me
Of the sea, stormy
And so calm.
Of all the girls I've met,
You are the strongest
And most beautiful.

I've given away my heart,
Please don't tear it in two
Once more.
I await your answer,
And the day
It will be yes.
