Iori's Journal

Dear Journal,
You are the only one I can tell this to. This is not something I think I can share even with my grandfather or my mother.
This may sound strange, but I feel like I have found that someone special. Yes, I think I am in love.
Every day I look forward to the time I can spend with her. When she looks at me, or talks to me, I feel like I am the most
important person in the world. When I do not get to be with her, I feel empty inside. If she smiles at me, my whole day is
perfect.
I know she trusts me. She asks me to do things that she needs to be done correctly. And when she asks for my help, my
heart does cartwheels. I have done my best to show her she can rely on me.
Lately at night, I wake up after dreaming about her. No, not those kinds of dreams. Dreams where we sit together and
talk. Or where I simply rest my head on her shoulder. Last night I dreamed we were on a moonlight picnic. We smiled.
We talked. And as the stars rose, we lay on the grass pointing out the constellations to each other. Another time I had a
similar dream, taking place during the day. Instead of constellations, we picked out shapes in the clouds.
Sadly, our relationship can not be. I must content myself with worshipping her from afar. No one would understand. She is so much older than me, so much more mature. Yet she is one of the few who doesn't treat me like I am just a little kid.
The others wouldn't understand. They think I am just a kid, and often treat me as such. Daisuke would laugh at me if I told
him of my love. Ken might simply shake his head. Hikari and Takeru would probably just nod and smile indulgently, and
would say something like "It's a crush. You'll get over it." And Miyako, one of my oldest and dearest friends, I do not know
how she would react to my telling her about these feelings.
I dare not tell her how I feel directly. If I could, I would walk up to her and say "Sensei, I love you." But for now, I must
content myself only with my dreams.
Author's note: Sometimes I just can't help myself ^_^. Yes, this journal entry would fall in the same timeline as the "A Teacher's POV" series. I should have the next "A Teacher's POV" up later this weekend.
