If only I could make you mine

I wonder if these feelings would ever stop... Although no matter how hard I tried, they keep growing.

They keep growing thanks to you. Thanks to your kindness, your smile, your eyes, your hands, your friendship, your courage... Thanks to all you are and mean to me, what I mean to you and having you always by my side, I can't stop them. I don't want to, it makes me happy loving you.

And yet I can't help wondering... why I can't be more than a friend to you.

If only I could make you mine, make you love me as I love you, I would make sure to make you happy. Erase all the suffering that I know you still keep in some corner of your heart.

If I could realize my selfish wish to make those eyes only look at me, I, I swear, I wouldn't look to anyone else. You're the one for me.

If that smile could be all mine, if it were the love's smile I crave for... I would treasure it more than anything. You mean the world to me.

If I could transform friendship into something more, make our feelings mutual... I shouldn't have to hold back, I no longer would have to settle with simple kisses on the cheek, I could...

If you could be mine... I would pamper you like nobody else. I would hug you more than now, I would coddle you, I would support you unconditionally, never away from you, I would kiss you, I would love you and I always would tell you... Fate-chan, I...

Just hold your hand makes me happy, but my ambition grows, my love for you grows, can't you see it?

Fate-chan…

Fate-chan is kind and beautiful, there's no doubt that many people likes her, but no one knows her like me, no one loves her like me... Even so, even though I love her, though my love is unbeatable, I'm afraid. I'm afraid of losing you, of not being able to remain friends and I can't do anything.

If only I could make you mine... If you could be mine...

"What are you thinking, Nanoha?"

"Huh?" What a great way to get back to reality; seeing your smile.

"You've been looking at nothing and sighing for a while" you chuckle "Are you okay?"

"I'm fine..." More than fine if you're here and still...

"You sure you're okay?" you question with concern. Oh, no, smile, smile Nanoha, you can't worry her by nonsense.

"Sure, don't worry." Very good, a smile of television, although she doesn't seem very convinced. "Shall we go?"

"Uhn..." Your hands are always warm and warm my heart, did you know? No, of course not, but anyway I'm glad to continue enjoying this, just walk hand in hand with you.

"Fate-chan..."

"Hm?" You turn to me, oh God, whenever I see your eyes I get lost.

"...I love you."

You smile sweetly and you approach me to give me a light kiss on the forehead. I knew it, you're worried and you think it's one of those days when I need pampering. It doesn't bother me, but it isn't entirely true. Still, my heart pounds and I smile you back when you say: "I love you too, Nanoha."

I know, I know but...

"You want to go for ice cream?"

"I would love to, Fate-chan." And we continued our way, smiling.

Well -sigh-, I think for now... my unrequited love continues...
