*A/N: It's an Amuto (love) poem of Ikuto's thoughts about Amu, and it's in free verse. There may be a continuation as chapter two, if I decide to write it... but this, for now, is its own poem as of the end of Shugo Chara! Ikuto doesn't usually voice his thoughts, so I decided to write this... I hope you like it. And a note for reading poems: there are pauses when you get to punctuation...*

-I don't own Shugo Chara! or the characters in here-


Once Again, Not a Day Goes By Without You

When I look into your eyes
And hear your voice,
It's as if I'm made new
And have just started to breathe
Once again;

Though the days go by
And the seasons pass,
With the flowers blooming,
The sun shining,
The leaves falling,
And the snow covering the ground
Once again,

Not a day goes by
Without thoughts of you
And your smiling face filling my head;
I still think of you dearly;
You're my anchor to happiness,
And you'll always be there
When I need you most
Is what I think
Once again;

I play my violin
To my heart's content,
All the while thinking of you,
And I remember
As the music resounds in the still air,
You freed me from my chains,
Your presence brought me joy,
Your kindness unlocked my heart;
And I realize
My thoughts cannot leave you
Once again;

I promise you,
When you're older
I'll go back and find you,
So for now,
Just focus on finding your true self
While I'll focus on finding my father;
Because one day,
We'll be together
Once again.

Our hearts are forever connected
By your Humpty Lock
And my Dumpty Key,
So don't worry;
I know I'll see you
Once again.

Additional/alternate last stanza:

(When I return,
We'll be free to climb all the trees
That we want to
Without a care in the world,
Just you and me,
Together,
Once again.)


*A/N: The poem started out under 200 words, but it's longer now :o... Anyways, please tell me what you think ^_^*
