Hello, again! This is the reply to my previous poem in the POV of Kageyama. I have only watched the anime, so I would love pointers!
I am also going to do the pairings TsukiYama, SawaSugu, and KuroKozu. I would love your opinions!
...I'm not sure how to process what I just read...
all of these things that you have never said.
I can't tell if I am spiteful towards Tsukishima for showing me this
or if I am grateful he was by the trashcan you missed.
You wanted to throw this away
for some reason to my dismay.
I know you didn't want me to read it
but in the back of the locker room here I sit.
You just left for vacation, and I practice alone
and the others tease me to pick up my phone.
I know our teammates are here, but it's not the same without you
I respect them greatly, and even see them as friends, too,
but since I first saw you at that match in middle school
I knew deep down you would make me a fool.
You rave of my skills, but you cut yourself short
you always progress when we are on the court.
These wings that you say I have given you now
is much to gracious than I would allow.
I try my best to not be a king
but I see you up there soaring.
It is a place I can never reach
which is why I must beseach
though my fingers cannot touch the air like you
when I push a ball up there my heart does soothe.
You are the one who can do what no other has done
and fulfill my wish to reach up to the sun.
Though black feathers may fall as you fly higher
They make me feel so much lighter.
A king I am not, but a king I may act,
all to keep you here and my mind on track.
Though I now see I am part of a greater kingdom
I have never felt so much freedom.
When you are with me I feel this awful trust
that I hoped would never again make a fuss.
I don't want to admit it, but reading this paper
has made me not want to wait any later.
I don't know if I can make you happy
and I am not about to say something sappy,
but if you would like, I can give you an answer.
This love you speak of has spread like a cancer,
and with my last line I will tell you this:
I love you, too, and you have given me bliss.
(B-but don't let that go to your head! Just come back home, already!)
