„If only" by Millka

If only he could turn back time, things would have been so different. He would find a way to free her from that mad scientist's deadly grasp, no matter what. He wouldn't let him make such horrible things to her. Sin wouldn't be committed. Beloved Lucrecia would be safe.

If only she had listened to him... She would avoid all the pain she had been through. One could think it was her own fault; that she agreed to experiments, because she was well aware of what may happen. But the truth is she didn't deserve that – she was just blinded by love.

If only she would listen to him that day. If only she would go with him. Sneak from the laboratory and leave it all behind. Hide in some peaceful village. Start a new life. He would be her guardian.He would be with her until the end, sacrifice everything for her. No. He wouldn't require love from her. Her one, beautiful smile, letting him know that she is happy, would be enough.

If only everything wouldn't go so wrong. If only he wouldn't turn into the monster he is now.

If only he wouldn't commit all those sins. He wouldn't be so cold. He wouldn't be alone and sad, so sad... Darkness' embrace was tightening. He wanted everything to just go away.

If only tears hadn't been streaming his face, young ninja wouldn't know anything. She wouldn't ask, he wouldn't break down.

If only...
