I asked you

once

a long time ago

if you could f-e-e-l

.

if you could feel

a-n-y-t-h-i-n-g

.

anything

at all

for me

.

and I remember

you had l-o-o-k-e-d

.

you had looked

at me

and said:

.

"Anyone could,

Kise-kun.

Anyone could."

.

and I had asked:

.

"Even you,

Kurokocchi?

Even you?"

.

and you had said:

.

"It's getting late,

Kise-kun.

I'll see you tomorrow."

.

and then you left

and I had w-a-i-t-e-d

.

and I had waited

for so long

for you to come

.

.

.

but you d-i-d-n-'-t

.

.

.

you n-e-v-e-r did

.

.

.

so now I wonder

if you had k-n-o-w-n

.

if you had known

even a little

that I p-r-e-t-e-n-d-e-d

.

that I pretended

that it didn't hurt

when it was really

the o-n-l-y thing

.

the only thing

that ever did

.

.

.

.

.

.

.

"Could you ever,

Kurokocchi?"

I ask myself

this time

.

("I think I could,

Kise-kun.

I think I could.")
