Speeding Cars

Disclaimer: Gravitation isn't mine.

This is a letter to Tohma from Ryu before he went back to Japan. Just something I came up with due to recent events.

This is for my Tohma.

Dear Tohma,

Here's the day you hoped would never come
Don't feed me violence, just run with me
Through rows of speeding cars

It started with a rose…how…poetic, ne?

The paper cuts, the cheating lovers
The coffee's never strong enough
I know you think it's more than just bad luck

You've been cut down…so many times. And you still can't find a drink strong enough to make you forget.

There, there, baby
It's just text book stuff
It's in the ABC of growing up

We have been through a lot together in life, haven't we? Hardships…worst than most, yet somehow we get by. We always tried to look ahead. "We'll shine one day Tohma."

Now, now, darlin'
Oh don't lose your head
'Cause none of us were angels
And you know I love you, yeah

I wish you're anger would stop. But more than that…I wish your hurt and pain would stop. However, I think the way to do that is to forget him and them. …Can you do it? Or is it to hard? Even angels have flaws…

Sleeping pills, no sleeping dogs lie never
Far enough away
Glistening in the cold sweat of guilt

You barely sleep anymore, and when you do, you awake in a puddle of remorse. What can I do for you? To make it stop? …Will it ever be able to?

I've watched you slowly winding down for years
You can't keep on like this
Now is as bad of time as any

Work keeps your mind away most of the time. But we barely talk anymore. Because you're too weary, too sad, and too angry. And I know…you don't talk to me so you don't have a chance to hurt me too. So it's always a bad time to call.

There, there, baby
It's just text book stuff
It's in the ABC of growing up

Don't you wish there was a document on how to succeed in life? I know I do. I always get wrapped up in nothing. And sometimes I wonder if I don't cause your pain. You tell me I don't though and give me an exhausted smile and say you love me, then good-night.

Now, now, darlin'
Oh don't kill yourself
'Cause none of us were angels

Please don't give up. Please don't over work yourself to dull down the pain. I don't mean to argue. I don't mean to say anything cruel. And I…

"And you know I love you, yeah"

Do you want to run through rows of speeding cars?


It's all okay by me
It's all okay by me
It's all okay by me
It was a long time ago

Do you remember the last time we were together? It's been a while. And it's not like…anything was better back then, but…why has it worsen?

It's all okay by me
It's all okay by me
It's all okay by me
It was a - long - time - ago

It's ok though…I just worry now. So don't fret…


There, there, baby
It's just text book stuff
It's in the ABC of growing up

Heh, you told me once that the world around us was growing up…so we had to go with it. …Though, I'm still as big a child as I was back then.

Now, now, darlin'
Oh don't lose your head
'Cause none of us were angels
And you know I love you, yeah

I wonder if you've yelled out all your frustration by now. …I'll be seeing you soon…so I guess we'll find out…


There, there, baby
It's just text book stuff
It's in the ABC of growing up

I hope to God you feel better soon Tohma. You shouldn't care about the rest of the world. You're better to than them. So screw them all, ne?

Now, now, darlin'
Oh don't kill yourself
'Cause none of us were angels
And you know I love you, yeah

Love you forever,

Ryuichi

Ok, sorry to do that, but it needed to be done by me. Kuma kisses.
