Now

By Dark Ash

Genre: Romance

Rating: PG-13 for concept. This one is lighter than my last, so meeeeeeeeeh. I'm not gunna be a wuss and post this under R just 'cause it's T/P. Muwhaha... the uprising has begun! I mean, like two or three fics in a week... (sideways whisper) Kids, don't tell your parents...

A/N: ... oi vey. It's 3:00 on a school night. I should be sleeping. However, I'm typing and I'm going to get nooooo~~ peace tomorrow. That's okay, though. I usually write best under the influence of coca-cola and sleep deprivation.

... poems, anyway.

Also~~, *insert shameless plug*, I would love you forever if you joined ATDTQN. Need info? Look in my bio. If you're reading this, though, nine chances out of ten you'll want to join. You don't need to do shinznit, jest email meh or review this sayin' you wanna join. *end shameless plug* Get on with the poem, woman. *is talking to self*

*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*

I hear you

In the darkness

(touched softly... but i had nothing then)

You actually touch me

(why?)

it's so wrong

you know that, don't you?

NEVER meant to be like this

(but somehow it happened)

It... it feels...

... good.

(WHY?)

It's different now

Really different

Different than back then

(just friends)

Why do you have to look at me like that?

I...

(i guess...)

It wasn't

Maybe

Now it isn't

(more)

more than that

the embrace is different now

(now?)

A smile

*Your* smile

(it's warm)

your strength against my weakness...

and you don't care.

...

Is this friendship?

*real* friendship?

Or...

(but i could never live without you now)

you look so sure

... but...

(why do i feel like this?)

It's like

I'm being constricted

(...but...)

*Why...?*

Why you

Of all I have ever known?

Why you?

(it comes)

...because...

You care about me

You have touched me

When nobody would before

Your dark eyes fill with...

With something

I've never seen

Ever

And now I know

... I love you.

Telling you,

You reply the same way.

Now,

We are forever with each other

And

For this moment

We don't need anybody.

Now,

It doesn't matter

That I'm weak

(because you're here)

Now,

You smile

And I feel

Like I've never felt before.

And now,

We are together

As the night goes on

Lost in each other.

A voice in me tells me

(again)

that I should stop...

but what does it know?

Now

I am happy

And that's all that matters.

A/N: Bet'cha anything that the first review is a flame. Bet'cha!

In other news, I'm writing another fic that be T/P. The first chapter is killin' meh, but expect to see it here by the end of the week. (I hope...) It will have to be in the R section, though, 'cause of later chapters that have... stuff. Not tellin' you anything yet. Wait. ^_~

Until then, ja, minna-san!
