Fan poem for Kagome and Inuyasha. Kagome's point of view. May be a tiny bit out of character but I hope not. A little sad, Kagome's thinking about her feelings and whether Inuyasha feels the same. She's a bit misguided because she doesn't know what he's thinking… Review please!
If Only It Were So
Love is a word,
But I see it in front of me,
It cloaks me – envelopes me,
I walk around shielded with affection.
If only it were so.
Your name – it's a word,
But I see you in front of me,
You embrace me – envelope me,
You lavish me with adoration.
If only it were so.
You are love personified,
When I think of love I think of you,
Your face fills the blank canvas in my heart,
When I pass you, my pulse beats faster,
And when you pass me – yours does the same.
If only it were so.
I cannot escape this walled prison that is my mind,
I cannot jump into yours and read your thoughts,
But I hope with all my beating heart,
That you feel the same as I do,
That you love me too.
If only it were so.
Every time I look at you my heart swells,
My pace slows down and so does time,
As I catch your eyes,
You open your mouth to speak,
Each time – the same,
I wonder what you begin to say,
To tell me you love me?
If only it were so.
Love is a person,
Someone I hold for my own,
One person in the world,
That I wake everyday to see,
And, secretly, in his mind,
He holds the same thoughts as me,
He waits for me on the other side.
If only it were so.
I jump through time to see him,
I jump back again to escape,
To grasp my fleeting heart,
Before he steals it away forever,
Bitten once before – I know he's cautious,
But surely there's room in his heart for me?
If only it were so.
I lie awake at night to watch him,
To me: he is so perfect,
He is a wild creature – tamed,
And as beautiful as an angel,
Angered – he is himself,
Relaxed – he is a god,
One I wish to worship,
One I pray to be with,
Perhaps he wishes to be with me?
If only it were so.
Now I must sleep,
To see your face,
And hold onto our memories for eternity,
For soon in the future,
We may be pulled apart,
All communications may be savaged,
And I may never see your face again,
But I will hold onto the hope,
The love I've gathered – collected from you,
I will wait until the day I see you,
And if it is heaven then let it be so,
I will never let this love go,
The only boy for me,
I will see you every waking day.
If only it were so.
