Tee-hee! Daisuki!
All For You: Reflections of Tomoyo
The sky is very blue today. From my window I watch the diaphanous clouds shift in and out of each other on the horizon. In the distance there are two bright birds dancing in the rays of the sun while singing their melodious ode to life and love. Sighing, I close my eyes and whisper; "Sakura, Sakura..." It eases my heart to feel your name roll off my tongue so fluidly. Why must I contain these feelings within myself? Why can I not...express them? I ask these questions silently although deep down I already know the answer. If I were to tell you how I really feel, the burden would fall upon your shoulders. How could I weigh down your winged celestial divinity with such a thing? No. It would hurt you, inconvenience you, disappoint you... That is the last thing I would ever want. I will carry these feelings secretly within my spirit for all eternity knowing that doing so will keep you happy.
I do it for you. All for you...
I turn to my closet and see a glimpse of vividly designed outfits hanging out through the open door. I continue to make these costumes even though you have already captured all of the cards. Why? I would love to see you wearing them again. You will never know how beautiful you looked during that time. A plethora of videocassettes line the space underneath my bed; the tapes I filmed of your card collecting. You will never know how often I watch them. I will never tell you, love. I wish that we could go back to that time. I think those were the best days of my life; procuring wondrous films as you fought and gained wisdom. I was right next you, by your side, every step of the way.
I do it for you. All for you...
You are with Syoaran now. You two love each other very much. I helped lead you to him, remember love? Meilin and I set it up. We made him come all the way back from Hong Kong just so you could tell him those words I hear in my dreams: "I love you." Meilin called me a fool. She knows how I care for you. She thinks I should never have helped you, that eventually your feelings for Syoaran would have died, ne? So...why? But I could never have just let things be. You wanted him more than anything. He makes you happy, more than I ever could, and your happiness means the world to me, Sakura-chan. You know, I think if I could have one wish come true, any wish at all... I would like to be Syoaran for a day. Then I would know what it is like to be so loved by you, even if it was just for one single day.
I do it for you. All for you...
I can see you running up my driveway. Oh Sakura... I feel a sharp pinch of possessiveness take control of my heart, and I long for you to belong to me and me alone. Please... If only... You burst into my room, your face flushed with fevered excitement "Tomoyo-chan!" you begin energetically, "Syoaran-kun just asked me to go to the movies with him! Isn't that lovely?" Trying to ignore the thin ribbons of pain that are stretching widely across the length of my heart, I see how your eyes are bright with the exquisite glow of your own perpetual joy and realize that this is my consolation. "Isn't it just wonderful?" she insists again. I turn my gaze to you; my eyes open but turned inward, and smile. "Yes, Sakura-chan. It is..."
I do it for you. All for you...
