Obscure Romance

---------------

As the thunder rises,
The rain falling harder than before,
I try to meditate in tranquility

But something distracts me
And it's not just the rain

Misao....
Do you really love me?
Or am I living in my own fantasies
And illusions?

Misao....
How I wish I could make you happy
How I wish I knew

All the years,
Of secrecy and concealment,
You've shown me your love more times than I can count

I ignored it then, not realizing my hidden love for you
I was a fool,
Falling into my own trap

And now I'm struggling
I could've told you long ago
But I didn't

I love you now,
But do you still love me
As much as you did then?

I pushed and set you aside,
Not comprehending the torment and heartache
That I caused

Could you still love me?
After all I've done?

It's my mistake

How could I be so blind?
I wounded your heart and distressed your soul

As the rain fades, and thunder calms,
I hear Misao's innocent laugh

Misao.....

"Okina, can I go see Aoshi now? He's been in that temple way too long!"

Misao... I love you...
