"But Will You?"
By: Asura Sotosuri

You stare at me through eyes of steel
Cold and heartless, as if you can not feel
You turn and flee from my touch
Even though you know I need you so much
You act through emotions that are fake
And a heart that everyone thinks is as venomous as a rattlesnake
Am I the only one that can see through your shield?
Straight to your soul where the emotions are real?
Are you angry that I speak the truth?
That I can gaze at something you believe only you should?
Well, forgive me for this involuntary act
I can't help that I have a vision of you that the others lack
You are held back from me by your pride
I wish you would forget it for a moment like I have done mine
You are the world to me, everything about you is wonderful
Even the cold looks you give that could make a fire go cool
And while on the subject, I do have to say
Rinoa can pick a man out with incredible taste
She chose me and she chose you
Little did she know what I would attempt to do
So, I heard you two broke it off
Was it because she caught us kissing in the Training Hall?
Oh my love, please don't glare at me so
As if what I did was so unutterably low
You seem to have glared at me with lesser might
When you discovered that I was the dreaded Sorceress' Knight
Do you really hate me so much?
It certainly didn't seem that way when out lips touched
You must have felt what I felt too
Otherwise you would have stabbed Lionheart into me and this would be through
But I don't really care if you do
Because every brush off you give me leaves a scar, reminding me of you
Speaking of scars, did you know I enjoyed giving you yours and receiving mine?
Just because then, no matter what, we were bonded for life
Why can't you just give into love
So we can stop saying saying 'you and I' and just say 'us'?
I can't promise you everything, but I can promise you this
I will only love you more and more with each kiss
Squall, I love you
But will you love me too?
