..::.. Beautifully Broken ..::..
"It seems like yesterday that my world fell from the sky. It seems like yesterday I didn't know how hard I could cry . . ."
Tears still clogged my eyes from the night before. He held her, kissed her, told her he loved her and he would die for her. He didn't know I saw him. And heard him. And died as those words left his lips. Didn't he know I loved him? Can't he see I'd gladly lay down my life for him?
"It feels like tomorrow I may not get by, but I will try, I will try. Wipe the tears from my eyes . . ."
Sango and Miroku had tried to stop me as I ran past them. I jumped down the well, ignoring all of them, even Inuyasha's cries. How could he break my heart and expect me to just smile and laugh it off, like I had every other time? Now it had gone too far. I gently wiped my face as I realized that the sun was rising again. I had cried the whole night through for him.
"I'm beautifully broken and I don't mind if you know it. I'm beautifully broken and I don't care if I show it . . ."
I decided then, I don't care who knows how much I'm broken. I love Inuyasha, so much that . . . I don't care if he doesn't love me back. I want to stay with him, even if he doesn't feel the same. Is that desperate or what? Maybe I'm just a sucker for punishment.
"Every day is a new day, I'm reminded of my past . . ."
I've had so many good times with Inuyasha. I can't let go now can I?
"Every time there's another storm, I know that it won't last . . ."
It has to rain sometimes right? I can't give up now.
"Every moment I'm filled with hope, cause I get another chance. But I will try, I will try, got nothing left to hide . . ."
I have to go back, and try again. After all, if Miroku gave up after one try, he'd never be able to win over Sango. I can't give up.
Upon returning to the Feudal Era, I found Inuyasha waiting for me. I told him I wanted to stay, even if he couldn't love me like he loved Kikyo. Being with him would be enough.
"Without the highs and the lows, where would we go, where would we go?"
"I want you to be happy. I want you to smile alot. I don't know what I can do for you, Inuyasha, but I'll always be by your side."
I'd never have guessed three whispered words could change my life so drastically.
"Thank you, Kagome."
Even without his love, I could still stand by his side. Beautifully broken and all.
