Watching you sometimes, I wonder when was it that things changed. My
memories of childhood was filled with vibrant flowers and green fields, the
blue of the sky and the blue of the water, and you. Even now I feel as if
meeting you that one fateful day, you crying so sadly, was the most
important thing in my life.
But what had changed?
You were the bud that I foresaw would bloom into the most beautiful flower. You were the one that I would do anything to protect. And you cling to me and every time you turn to me with that grateful teary smile, I just want to hold you close and never let you go, to keep you away from the harsh reality of the world.
What had changed?
All I wanted was to stay by your side and watch you grow. I knew you would grow into a beautiful woman and I wanted to be the one whom you come to for advice, the one you seek to share failures and triumphs. I wanted to be the one who was there for you. I did everything I could to see you smile, and for a while it was like heaven.
But then you came to me, still smiling so brilliantly, and slowly killed me with your admission.
"There's a boy I like now, Ino!"
What had changed?
All I wanted was to be by your side for always, but now I find myself watching your silhouette as you walked away from me, and I still couldn't understand how it happened. Why was it that the more I try to hold on to you, my most precious person, the more you fade away?
I was lost and a fool; I was afraid. Why did you suddenly leave me in the darkness? I attempted to run after you and I fail time and time again. I followed you, chasing the one you also chased after, if only to catch a glimpse of you along the way.
Why won't you turn around and see me?
See me instead of the other that you seem to like so much. See me, your childhood friend, the one who helped you through thick and thin when you were little. See me, the one who helped you bloom.
I find myself unable to even touch you any more, and you keep blooming so beautifully, and I couldn't even see because your back was always turned to me. Why won't you turn around?
I am lost and alone now, chasing after the unreachable sky. Since when did my world disappear?
