Unyielding Feelings

By: Syaoran's Sakura

It's been such a long time since I last talked to you.

No matter how close we were, our own feelings succeeded in keeping us apart.

But I won't give up.

Someday, somehow, I might find the courage to face you again.

Because all I ever want is to be by your side always.

It all started beneath those cherry blossoms.

The moment I laid eyes on you, my whole world shone with a new light.

A light that was too bright it was blinding.

And as a soft pink petal slowly fell to your direction, I felt myself falling for you.

But unlike the cherry blossom that you gently caught with those slender fingers, my heart continued to fall into the dark, hoping that you will catch it too.

Hours, days, and even months have passed, and yet I continued to fall.

We became best friends, but still it hurts.

It hurts because I know you feel the same.

But as much as I want to hold your hand, I know I can't.

Because I am afraid that you would slip out of my grasp.

I can't take it anymore. And so I told you.

I had been careless that time. I accidentally let my guard down.

And I hoped and prayed that you would return my feelings.

But my world was shattered as you lowered your head and shook your head.

Gently you kissed my cheek then whispered in a trembling voice,

"Gomen ne."

And with that you ran, out of the room and out of my reach.

I love you, and I want to be with you, always.

No matter how stoic and impassive I may be, my feelings for you are true.

And I know you feel the same for me.

Because of the tears that fell from your eyes as you ran.

That's why it hurts inside.

Even if I look fine on the outside.

I feel my heart being ripped apart everytime I see you.

Everything went back to the way it was.

Or so I thought.

Our relationship got much worse after that day.

We rarely talk to each other.

And when we do, it was our friends who always force us to talk to each other.

A simple greeting was all we say, and then you would make up a lousy excuse to get yourself away from me.

At times when we would accidentally meet on the hallway, you would avert your gaze to the floor and then wall as fast as you can past me.

It was as if you were avoiding me.

But when I look in your eyes, why do I see loneliness and uncertainty swimming in those blue orbs?

Perhaps you are confused about how you feel.

Perhaps.

Take your time, there's no need to hurry.

Think over your feelings very carefully.

And when you've finally decided, just tell me.

Take your time, there's no need to hurry.

I'll always be here, waiting for you.

And if needed, I'll wait for you forever.
