I Wish It Was Me
I loved her once.
I still do.
I clench my fists as the tears come to my eyes
Watching him with her
I wish it was me.
She is his soul-mate…
Not me.
I accepted that a long time ago.
Did I really?
I wish it was me that she'd hold in her arms.
Only one other person knows how I fee
She saw me one night sitting in the park on a bench crying my heart out.
She sat next to me and asked what was wrong.
I broke and began to sob.
As I cried,
I told her how my heart aches every time I see her,
How I wish it was me she'd whisper sweet nothings to.
When I stopped
She looked at me
Tears shining in her eyes as she said she knew how I felt and began to cry as well.
We comforted each other as we both cried
Each wishing it was one of us that she would kiss.
It must've been a sight to see the Senshi of time and the Senshi of fire crying.
We eventually stopped and sat in
silence for the longest time.
Then she gave a grin and said
"We could just pretend."
We both laughed.
She smiled at me sympathetically as she got up and I thanked her for understanding.
She is still the only person who knows.
How often have I wished that she was beside me on my bed and I could reach out my hand through her hair?
Too many to count.
When they are together and I hear her laugh as he tickles her ear with his breath as he whispers he loves her, I wish that I was sitting next to her instead.
I wish it was me.
