I want someone
who doesn't mind
that I'm not the girl
my father raised me to be,
I want someone
who will share the responsibilities
that my rank requires me,
someone who can look at me
and without saying a word knows
that I need a break
I want someone
who will challenge me to a swordfight
to relax and let every anchor fall away,
someone who will laugh with me,
I want someone
who doesn't need me to sugarcoat life,
and all of its harshness,
and yet also doesn't need me to be
the spark in the conversation
that keeps it from running away
into deep silence
I want someone
who doesn't see a noble
when he looks at me,
but sees Kiki
and loves her for who she is.
I want Mitsuhide
for he became that person
just by being who he is.
