Uhm..I suck at poems. x_x; I had this idea stuck in my head, so I ran with
it to see where it took me. Yadda yadda, Kenshin's POV on Kaoru, blahblahblah.
Tomoe+Kenshin-fans should not read further.
(Just for the record, Tomoe is one of my favorite characters, and I blubbered
like a baby [as I do often.._;;] in the OVAs, and once I get the
manga, I'm sure I'll blubber like a baby then too. :P Nothing against Tomoe,
I just think K+K are meant to be.)
Only You
Some time ago,
when I was low,
in the depths of despair,
under death's stare,
there you were.
You took me in,
despite my sin.
Time and again has shown,
my wandering days are blown
away in a blur.
The ghosts of my past
came back with a blast
that shattered my heart.
It was time to say 'Goodbye,'
time to be set free to fly.
You wallowed in despair,
I pretended not to care.
You knew I had to come back.
But just to be safe, you started to pack.
And when I saw your face,
I knew I had found my place.
I promised I would return,
I had no reason to burn.
I told you my life.
I told you about my wife.
I told you how I killed her.
How I deserved nothing better.
And then you were stolen away.
And I had no reason to stay.
I couldn't even cry.
I just wanted to die.
But somehow I knew,
That you couldn't be through.
I came to your rescue,
I came only for you.
I battle wore on,
Far from won.
And then I had won,
I dispersed his fun.
You never worried long,
when I was gone.
I had only one place I could return to.
I could only return to you.
Aishiteru.
