Author's Note: This is...hmm...something more cathartic that I needed to do to get some things out that are within my mind.

Aoshi and Misao are merely my tools for this purpose, something akin to paints for a painting.

Oneshot.

Enjoy.

Do You Remember Love?

I sit here again, alone in my room, thinking of why it is I'm so completely infatuated with you. It seemingly makes no sense really if you think about it. I'm short, hyper, outspoken, sometimes don't think things through well, I curse, and I get so worked up over things. You're quiet, calm....I want to know the mysteries behind those blue eyes so much it hurts.

I remember the first time I met you, I couldn't really see your face well. Then I did and I was just...I froze. Something about you instantly made me feel...alive again. I had been hurting still over something, and I had shut down for so long.

You made me feel I could breathe again, but you don't even know that.

I like your nice attitude, you've never been mean to me.

I like the way I don't need to say anything sometimes because you don't talk much anyway.

I like that with you there's not all this drawn out drama and lies and backstabbing.

But I do not like how you have a tendency to forget sometimes, which is odd for you supposedly have a high IQ. I could tell you something and five minutes later you may forget. But that's okay because you've never made me feel bad.

But I have such a hard time telling you these things because I'm scared of being hurt. I don't think I can take it. I'm afraid of not having my feelings returned.

You say you do want to spend time with me, but things get into the way. Another girl wanted you, but you brushed her off saying you're too busy. You never said that to me and it makes me feel better.

And yet I hesitate, because this outspoken girl is afraid to say the one thing that really matters.

I want to be with you.

Ima anata no koe ga kikoeru

"Koko ni oide" to

samishisa na make souna watashi ni

ima anata no sugata ga mieru

aruite kuru

me wo tojite matte iru watashi ni

kinou made namida de kumotteta

kokoro ima wa

Oboete imasu ka me to me ga atta toki wo?

Oboete imasu ka te to te ga fureatta toki

sore wa hajimete no ai no tabidachi deshita

I love you so

mou hitoribotchi janai

anata ga iru ka

I love you Aoshi-sama. Please tell me, do you feel the same?

Translation

Right now I hear your voice

saying 'come here to me'

just when it seemed lonliness had beaten me

right now I see you

walking over to me

I close my eyes and wait for you come

Till yesterday, it seemed only filled with tears

but now my heart is

Do you remember? The first time our eyes met?

Do you remember? The time when our hands touched?

That was the very first time I set out on the journey of love

I love you so

I'm not alone anymore

now that you're here with me
