Why Can't They Just Understand The Way We Feel?

Your sister looks at me like I'm stealing you away, and she doesn't even know you're her brother yet. Your best friend, he used to be like a brother to me, so did the other guys. They look at me like I'm a whore, I can feel them judging me.

The girls all try and set me up with other men. They tell me I can do much better than you.

I ask myself, "Why can't they understand the way we feel?"

I don't know if they think I'm too good for you, or you're too good for me, but I know they won't be happy; not till we're broken up.

In your eyes I can see you know what I know. You've noticed it too.

Even now as your beautifully soft lips form the words, I can barely stand to hear your voice saying this. "Our friends don't like this. I love you, but it's better this way. Us, being alone."

That one word I understand. "Alone." I barely whisper in response, "I understand." I say even quieter, but I know you heard me.

I want so bad to hold you, I know you're dying to kiss me.

In this moment, I turn to god and want to scream;

"Why can't they just understand the way we feel?!"

But I guess from now on they will.

Everyone knows what it's like to be completely alone.

Just a short little blurb I felt compelled to write. I've been attempting so many long fics, and I've decided to try a few short, mixed up ones.

This one is a Hiei and Botan fic.

I'm going to wait a day or two to post the next three. Which are a continuation of this one.
