Bloody Roar II: Can't You See

You look at me, a grin touching

The corners of your mouth.

Our eyes meet,

Our voices blend with each other

And our souls…

Our souls intertwine.

A strong bind of friendship

Keeps us united together.

At the thought, a smile

Forms over my lips.

But, I wonder…

If you can detect

The forced feeling behind it.

Take a careful look at me,

Glance into my eyes,

Delve into the depths of my inner self…

Into my most hidden thoughts…

Can you spot and inkling of emotion

Lingering inside, holding back

Holding back… for a certain person,

Called to attention by my heart.

Those words… those 'forbidden' words…

Scroll through my mind,

Begging to be released

Into the verbal world.

Do you feel the same for me,

As I do for you?

Until I know, this must remain a secret

For your sake… and for the sake of my feelings.

Have you come to realization…

By the secret looks we exchange

By the encouragement from our friends

By… by the admiration I have for you

Deep within my pupils, serving as a passage

For you to see how I feel inside.

Do you notice that my face brightens

Every time we see each other.

Can't you see

That this predicament

Brings burden upon me.

Someday, when I know your feelings…

I'll find the courage to say

Those wretched 'forbidden' words…

"I love you."

The End

Author's Note: Whew, another poem! Please don't kill me for the atrocity, heh… ^_~ BTW, this poem is Keniko, but it's not from just Uriko or just Kenji's point of view, rather it's from both of them. The amount of stanzas there are allows them to have equal stanzas; it kinda switches off. True Bloody Roar II fans, you can tell which ones are from Kenji's POV and which ones are from Uriko, right? *hears crickets chirp* …Okay… Hehe, just kidding, well hope you enjoyed this my readers and leave a review/feedback if you have the time!

With love for my fans,
