Dear Kouichi

Dear Kouichi Kimura,

I never would have imagined you felt that way

You're so quiet, so apathetic

Never would have guessed you were gay, too

I am as well

You're one of my best friends

But I have my own confession

You've given e the courage to say it

I can't wait on the truth any longer

Trust me, it hurts to say it

Just as much as it hurts to know

Kouichi, I love your brother, Kouji

I hate rejecting you

I know the pain

It's happened to me

Much more painfully

I loathe asking you a favor now

Could you tell Kouji?

I should confront him

But that never works for me

I'm begging this of you

Please forgive me

You must have been praying

The feelings would be returned

You must hate me now

But I still want to be your friend

Sincerely,e

Takuya Kanbara

A/N It's not quite as good as Dear Takuya, but I felt this was a perfect chance to practice writing angst, so don't flame, please.
