Author's note: This is a poem about how I think Kaoru might have felt while Kenshin was living with her. In the beginning, I don't think she actually LOVED him. But after time she loved him so much, but she didn't think she could have him because he was a rurouni who might not stay with her. She didn't think he noticed her the way she wanted him to. This poem explores that idea and how Kaoru may feel that she will never get what she wants. I wrote this poem a while ago, but I never put it up because I wasn't sure if I liked it, but I decided you guys deserved an update. Enjoy.
Can't Have
Never really noticed, but he was always there,
I sometimes took a glance, but never did I stare.
But then something happened when he walked through the door,
I began to see him as I've never seen him before.
He has a gentle smile, that makes my knees weak,
His calm voice makes it so I can't speak.
Eyes that shine like the sunlight upon the sea,
Strong arms that I can imagine holding me.
Now I find myself looking for him in the hall,
Even though I'm sure he doesn't care for me at all.
It's strange the way that your heart decides to love,
How it gives us people to think of.
Sometimes I wonder if he'll ever look my way,
O, how I dream that he will someday.
Yet, inside I know that's just a childish dream,
But then again, things are never as they seem.
Maybe one day I'll find him once more,
Someday, I may see him come back through that door.
Until that day I'll just stand by and wait,
I'll be here for God to decide my fate.
Isn't it strange how love seems to arise,
Most times it comes as a surprise.
The one thing that haunts me just like a ghost,
Is that what I can't have, is what I want most.
~That's it. Short, I know. Another poem is coming soon so sit tight and PLEASE review.
