Dear Santa

Oh god this is ridiculous, for Aya, of all people to have me write one of these. I don't have time for this, I have people to see for their checkups and I don't want things to be like this. But still, I'm sitting down writing this, a letter to Santa and all because of the Mabudachi Trio.

Dear Santa

I'd like a chance

I don't quite deserve it

I see half-blindly that Kana gave me happiness

And happiness of that matter is more than I deserve

However I'd like a second chance

Not only of love but on something I'm lacking

Of happiness

I'm sitting here day after day

With no one beside me

Just the click of the door when Momiji returns

An occasional phone call

And the feeling of companionship has become so strange

I just accept that this happens

No one can mend my eye

That kind of medical improvement has not been done

And I can't be someone else

That is ridiculous

Living outside ones own body

But I would like to see myself happy

I don't quite know why a fictitious character is asking you for this

This must be strange

I'm twenty eight, dear god

But inside I feel so much older

As if I've been hollowed for a century

That is why before it is too late, I ask for it

A second chance of happiness

Few can actually see past my exterior

Am I that cold?

I try to help everyone else

So that they are safe and happy

Only a couple actually understand that right now

I'm not happy but I'm trying to be

I'm trying so hard to be happy

But I've lost hope on it

So Santa if you are actually real

Please allow me to be happy

Only for a couple of seconds

At least I would know what it felt like

To be happy once more

To be happy to be alive
