Changes

You've changed. You've grown. You've become a better person. But I haven't.

You're beautiful. You're perfect. You're kind. But I'm not.

You put your soul into your work. You give everything you've got. But I don't.

You were so reckless. You never thought about anyone but yourself. But you've changed.

You were everything I wasn't. You were everything I wished to be. That hasn't changed.

You never looked down on people. You never treated them as anything but equals, mostly because you ignored them half the time but… I always treated them as though they weren't worth my time. I was stupid… scrap that, I AM stupid.

It's taken me forever to realise how much you've changed. Changed into this amazingly sensitive person. Whereas I'm still an arrogant failure.

You always forgave my mistakes. You always understood me, even if I was too foolish to see it. You cared. But I didn't. I always came first.

You never realised how much your words hurt me. Because you believed that such simple things as words couldn't hurt me.

You never settled for the simple answers. Because you knew nothing was ever simple.

You never listened when I told you I wanted to be alone. Because you knew it wasn't true.

You never lost your innocence. Until you met me.

You were perfect in everyway. Why did I have to spoil that?

You said you believed in me. Even though I didn't have faith in myself.

You said that you'd stay with me no matter what. But you couldn't possibly stand by me now.

You hated me. I hated you. But that's changed; we're the best of friends. But you're more than that.

You can never know just how much I love you. Because I know you don't love me.

You're in love with her. But it hurts more than words can say.

Words. When you said those words, you killed me. And you never knew. Because words can never hurt me, remember?

You said: I love you, Sora. I wanted to scream. I wanted to die. But I didn't. I smiled and pretended nothing was wrong.

But you knew me better than that. Somethings change. Somethings don't.
