How many times has it been now?

That I've seen you smile at me.

That you've been my friend.

That we've grown close.

How many…

Tears have we shed?

Laughs that we've exchanged?

Embraces that we've shared?

Those numbers escape me.

I can only remember the number of the times I've failed.

Seen the clock rewind.

And watched you die.

But why is it?

Thorough the thousands of timelines we've met.

You've befriended me without a second thought.

You would even laugh at how shy I was.

But even so, you took my hand and let me along.

You even

protected me.

Your love is so

Unconditional.

With a mind so innocent.

A heart so pure.

A smile so warm.

.

.

.

But I still let you

die

again and again.

Then why is it?

Even though your smile is so kind.

That I've grown so cold?

Time after time

of nothing but

failure.

I've began to wonder

If

'This is how it should be.'

But I can never give up.

Never.

Because I must protect you.

Unconditionally.

.

.

.

Because

I love you, Madoka.

I'm so sorry.
