AN: Based on events in Chapter 75 of the manga (no spoilers). Tohru is "wishing" for certain people to get together, only to feel their pain. I want to thank Shadow-san for the translation! Oh, before I forget...I don't own Fruits Baskets manga.
To Wish [Tohru POV]
By Pocochichi
You can't help but
Wish for it
From the heart...
[Although] My heart felt like it would fall to pieces...
When wishes are made upon the stars at night,
will they ever be heard?
To know that they go wasted tears my eyes;
and struck a tinge of pain that makes my chest burn...
I don't wish for my own selfish means,
But for the ones close to my heart;
For I know what their heart seeks;
a dream that is close but... so far...
The Wish
To be able to meet
Nothing much I ask of;
Only for hearts to come together...
With the bond of love;
which will last forever.
Why can't souls combine?
Whether it's the hearts of lovers,
Who wanted to see each other during this lifetime;
Or family who just want to meet each other.
Why?
It's it against a hidden law I could not see?
Or is it fate retreating from my side?
Could it just be me... reaching for the unreachable dream?
An impossible wish
Because I'm depressed?
Because I know
What it's like
To have an unrealizable wish?
All I could do is pray and wish;
And hope for the very best,
Never give up as long as I live,
Never give up...let the stars do the rest...
To wish
What is your "wish"...Kyo?
KYO: ...That a certain somebody would stop crying...
AN: Kyaaa! That was my first FB poem! Sorry that it was short, but I am breaking ground! I could write stories too, but the figuring out the plots is a huge pain for me. I like to stick with the original story, but to go into depth on what are the characters thoughts, emotions and so forth. I like the manga better than the anime, so most of the poems I might write in the future is inspired by the manga, like this one. Okay, my next poem is in Yuki's POV. Oh yeah, read and review, so I could find inspiration for my next poem...Thanx for reading!
