Princess Tutu
プリンセスチュチュ
-Mytho-
-Unfeeling-
Feelings, they are foreign to me.
I see everything as they are,
not what they truly ought to be.
But I know not such difference.
I am unfeeling, distant… lost.
Sworn to love Rue forever, but…
Love? How can I? I am empty.
Inside I have no heart, nothing.
She stares into my amber eyes,
and all she sees is aloofness.
She does not turn away. Not once.
Yet, I do, because I cannot,
return all that she has given.
She says: "All you need to do is,
love me. Love me as your princess."
I say the words, "I love you, Rue."
Her eyes change. Why does she do that?
She places her arms around me.
I do not move; her hold tightens.
Then she murmurs, "Don't change, for me."
