Who am I?
Are you sure you want to know? The whole truth? I am.. a "superhero" and like every other one, I, too have a tragic love story. And this is my story:
But be warned. Mine may be more tragic. I have always only loved her from afar. Even when we were younger. I could never get close to her the way I wanted to. My secret kept us from being together then. And it's still keeping us apart now.
I may be every one's role model, idol, superhero, but if they knew who I really was, I would not even receive a second glance. I may seem strong and powerful, but inside I am weak and fragile. I may seem happy, but I cry myself to sleep every night.
There is something about this girl that I cannot let go. That I cannot forget. That no one else can replace. My friends think that it is my superhero status that keeps me alive, that keeps me going. But it's the thought of her, the memory of her that gets me out of bed each morning.
What is most tragic is that I never lost her. I never even had her to begin with. She was never mine. I've only watched her belong to someone else. We could never be more than friends, fate has it against us. I've tried to fight it, but lost every time. This is something that I must accept and move on.
Since the very first day that I saw her. I knew. I knew she was the one that my heart would fly to. I knew she was the one that my heart cannot let go. I also knew, that she would love me, too.
Then why does fate have it against us? Blame it on the stars. Blame it on the gods. Blame it on destiny. Blame it on me. Blame it on my secret. But what has been planned, cannot be changed.
I can only watch her from the sky, from a distance, from afar. It tears my heart not to be with her. No matter how many people I save. No matter how many people that look up to me. No matter how many people that love me. If it is not her, then let it be no one. The hole inside my heart cannot be filled. Only she can complete me. I know it, and I know that she knows it too, deep down. But, it can never be.
Greatness shall be achieved with great sacrifices.
And she.
She is my sacrifice.
