A/N: I was thinking about Ryan, this guy who's my best friend and who I really like and how our relationship had been through ups and down and I came up with this.

Each day seems to drag on.

Why am I even still bothering with you?

You've turned away my affection once already.

But yet here I am.

I'm pitiful.

It seems as if it's been an eternity since I've spoken with you.

Do we even actually know each other anymore?

We used to be close, but what kind of relationship do we have now?

It seems as if we've been torn at the seams.

Why are we so divided?

Is it something I did?

Did I hurt you?

Am I not good enough?

If that is so why have you given me such mixed signals?

I guess I should just be thankful to have met you.

As the saying goes "It is better to have loved and lost, then to have neverloved at all."

It sure does hurt though.

More than getting stabbed with the sharpest blade.

"Misao!"

At the sound of Jiya's voice she slammed her diary shut.

"Coming!" She called back and skipped down the hall.

Aoshi and Jiya stood at the foot of the stairs.

"Misao I need you to go with Aoshi to visit Himura and his friends. Deliver this." He handed her a folded note.

She nodded and followed Aoshi out the door.

Sure, instead of waiting for him she could have moved on to better things, but to be honest, it was time well wasted.
