Drifting Farther Apart

by Lalita

Disclaimer- I OWN ABSOLUTELY NOTHING!!!

A/N- umm...Leena thinks about her relationship with Garu. I basically wrote it to prove to myself I could write about

something other than Hiead/Ikhny. Anyway, please read and review!

You sleep so close to me, yet we are miles apart.

My rumpled golden hair falls down to you as I observe you, but you are too deep in haunted dreams to notice.

I gaze forlornly at your face, etched in sorrow even in slumber. You are thinking of him; even now, I can tell.

It is not fair. I angirly swipe at some tears trickling down from my ocean blue eyes. How did this happen? When

we...When we made our decision, I told you it wouldn't be serious. And you stuck to that.

I'm the one having problems with it.

You mumble something in your sleep and turn so that your back faces to me. It seems to me that you're shutting me out

of your life.
I run a hand through your tangled green hair. I love you; I love everything about you. Your temper, your strength,

and the gentle exterior you hide beneath it all.
But you don't love me.

I know it, and it hurts, but still my heart hopes.

And breaks every time I see you.

Your emerald eyes give you away. You loved him too. Why won't you admit it?

You two were meant for each other. But now he's gone.

Leaving you heartbroken and enraged.

I would never leave you, not even in death.

I don't even know why we do this anymore. Why I do it. We're just pretending, trying to escape the truth.

The truth.

The horrible, hideous, truth.

The truth is that I love you, I'll always love you, but you don't love me.

I hate the truth.

It was inevitable.

Sooner or later, we'd have to have drifted farther and farther apart.

But why did it have to happen so soon?
