inspired by Heat Haze Days.

it's truly a heartbreaking song, and has a lot of vague sense in it.

when i first heard it, i didn't get it.

but after a couple times and watching the PV, i realized just what those two star-crossed lovers went through for each other.

that made me think for a while.

i thought,

"Hey,

isn't

this

what

people

call

love?"


Heat Haze

Because no matter what I did, you still smiled, and you still said you loved me.

How many times have I hurt you?

Not again.

I think it's time for my turn now.

As I gazed

blankly

at your hospitalized form,

your chest

rises

and falls

with every

artificial

breath you take.

The IV drip

attached to your arm,

I want to

rip it out.

Surely

the pain

will wake you

and you'll see me

waiting

at the foot

of your bed.

Hey,

didn't you ever

doubt

my love for you?

Didn't you ever

wonder

about our...

...relationship?

I

pushed

you away,

I

crushed

your flowers

under my foot,

I

rejected

your kindness

and gentle warmth.

I

never

once said,

"I love you."

Doesn't

that

bother

you...?

Doesn't

that

hurt

you...?

So why,

why,

do you still

tell me

you

love me?

Just

what

have

I

done

to

deserve

someone

as

good

as

you?

Things

like this

always happen.

The moment

you pushed me

out of

the way,

as I saw

that

red light

glare

through

the summer sun

heat haze

I've always

kind of

hated

and the

truck

that was

meant for me

hit you

and

it felt like

the world

stopped.

Your body

flew.

All I saw

was

red,

red,

red.

I still had

your blood

on

my jacket

and

my shoes.

Hey,

y'know,

the color

matched

my

Disciplinary Committee

armband

the moment

it

splattered

on

me.

Surely now,

that incident

will open your eyes

clearly

and make you see

just what

kind of

despicable

hated

disgusting

person

I am.

But hey,

hey,

I do,

y'know?

I really do

love you.

I just,

just...

can't

can't

can't

say it.

I'm

sorry.

I'm

so

so

sorry.

As I reach for that

transparent

line

attached

to your arm,

you open

your eyes.

Your eyes,

such a warm,

beautiful

kind

gentle

brown.

They

kinda

remind me

of

that

bittersweet

chocolate

you

made me

for

this year's

Valentine's.

Although,

I told you

cruelly

that I

threw it away,

calling it

disgusting.

But,

y'know...

I actually,

kept it

and ate it.

Hey,

y'know?

It was

really good.

Really...

really,

really...

good.

You knew

that

I

didn't like

sweets.

So

you

made it

a little

a tad bit

bitter,

didn't

you?

Hey...

y'know?

It was

perfect.

Your

fluffy

soft

coffee brown

hair

is all

over the place.

I can't help

but

smile

at that.

You

were always

always

so cute.

I was

afraid

that the others

would

take you away.

So I,

was always

making sure

I was

one

or two

steps

ahead

of you,

so that

you would always

try

and follow

after

my footprints.

My footprints,

that you cutely

try

to fit yours in,

when it snowed

and then

pout

that mine

were bigger than yours.

Of course,

I'll always be the taller one.

If you grow,

then I'll put

a big

effort

into getting

taller

because

I've always

liked

how you would

look up at me

with those

large

cute

adorable

adoring

admiring

eyes

of yours.

Those

eyes

that

are

staring

at

me.

"What is it?"

I ask

in a

hardly

audible

voice.

You smile

under that annoying

oxygen mask

and

your eyes

start

to water.

"Hibari-san,"

you breathe

and I can hear

the disbelief

and

utter happiness

in that

weak

strong

kind

loving

voice of yours.

I can't

say anything

because

I'm

starting

to

cry

too.

So,

instead,

I

reach over,

and

hold your hand.

I can't

take it anymore

and

I lay my head down

on

your sick bed.

I begin to cry.

Your tiny

enveloping

hand

squeezes

mine.

My shoulders

shake

as

I sob

and cry

and I

wet

your blanket

with my

salty

tears.

Hey,

y'know...

I'm a little

embarrassed now,

because

you once

told me

that my shoulders

and back

looked strong

and proud.

Hey,

y'know,

that

made me

really,

really,

really...

happy.

I was

glad

that I had

someone

like you

by

my side.

This

feeling

that

is uncontrollably

boiling

churning

writhing

inside me,

burning

my heart...

Perhaps,

is this

what

you feel

or felt

for me?

I lift

my face

off

your bed

and

stood.

"Tsunayoshi,"

I whisper

leaning

down

close.

Your eyes

look confused.

Of course

you would

be.

I've

never

done this

on

my own

accord.

But,

after almost

nearly

losing

you,

I

will

do

anything

for you.

Anything

everything

to make

you

happy

feel loved

smile

laugh

cry in joy

and

love me.

I know

it's selfish

greedy

sinful.

But,

y'know?

I

really do

love you.

I gently

grasp

the mask

on your face

and pull it off.

You're

surprised

startled

shocked

alarmed

panicked.

But

that's okay.

That side of you

is also

very

cute

y'know?

I look

into

your

brown

eyes

and

slowly

slowly

lean down.

As

I'm kissing you

I hope

my feelings

reached through

because I know

I don't

wear my heart

on my sleeve

like you do

and

I can't

say words

to

describe

things

like love

sadness

or anger.

I pull back

and smile

freely

at your

astonished

pleased

pleasant

happy

joyful

red

face.

I lean down

again

and whisper

into your ear,

"I love you."
