okay. Sorry for those of you who thought I might have quit writing. I haven't been terribly inspired lately. I think I'm still recovering from 'Mist Haunt'. Either way, I apologize if this sucks. It's sorta just some random drabble.

Another ordinary day at Cafe mew mew, with everyone running around like chickens with their heads cut off. But I can only see one, and that's you, my precious strawberry. I know you don't see me standing here, in the doorframe of the hallway that leads to the kitchen. You're working extra hard, since you're leaving early to go see him. My precious strawberry, what do you see in him? He is simply a man, and you could find any other one. I am not saying I am special, or that I am above him, but why the one who nearly killed us all?

You say it was Deep Blue, but I wonder, was it? If so, is Deep Blue still there? Or was it his repressed darkness; his inner rage? Why do you dote on him so?

In another life, would we be together? Or would God mock me even there, holding above my head what I want but cannot reach? You, Cherished Ichigo. But you see me as the one who ruined your life by cursing you to be a mew. ah, baka neko, I love it when you blush. Or even when you are irritated, that look on your face. I love you, My endearing beloved.

The other girls are pretty, but nothing compared to you, my baka strawberry. You are truly beautiful. And I wish more than anything, that I even stood a chance with you. But your heart was stolen before you even saw me. Before I even saw You, my angel. I loved you when I first saw you. My 'arrogance' is just the only way to hide my love. I don't need your pity, or anyone else's. I know you don't love me, and I don't want to hurt anyone by confessing my passionate love. I need no pity; a smile from you to me can cure me of all illness.

My baka, you are the one I love. The other girls pretend they cannot see this, but they can. I know that they feel sorry for me, loving someone who does not return my affections and never will. But still, I will love you till the end of time. every time I do something nice for you, a dull ache fills my heart. I know you see me as nothing more than a conceited boss; and unlovable brat. In another life, could we be lovers?

I love it when you laugh, Ichigo. You have the most beautiful of all laughs. You are so lighthearted and carefree, I wish I could join you in clouds of happiness, but I am weighed down by the fact that no doubt he is there. I watch you from this doorframe, and not a woman in this cafe is more beautiful, or more caring, than you. I know if I told you I love you, you would feel obliged to pretend to love me back. That is why my love must always remain hidden.

Baka strawberry, it pains me when you are sad. I hate that boy for all he has put you through. does he know how lucky he is? Does he know what I would forsake for you? For just one real kiss from my strawberry angel? Anything. I would give up anything and everything for you, my beloved. I love you, Ichigo.

Too bad you'll never love me back
