This is a poem although it doesn't rhyme. It's from a sixteen to nineteen year-old- Rin's PoV. Middle Verse is in italics cuz Rin hinks it's the most important of her thoughts.

A Sesshoumaru/ Rin pairing.

All Those Years Ago I'm not a child any longer

My body has matured

As well as my mind and feelings.

I'm sick of following,

I want to be with you

I want to walk beside not behind.

I've seen past your façade

I know you have emotions.

How can I tell you what I feel?

I'm no longer the little girl who ran behind you.

I'm a woman who longs to walk beside you,

And you still treat me the same as you did all those years ago.

One day you will notice,

How much I've changed,

And then maybe I will not ave to follow.

We should share the lead.

I'm grown up now,

So different and yet the same girl.

The same girl you saved,

All those years ago,

Is now me, I have grown.

A/N: R&R! My poems usually rhyme so this nbe's a bit weird. Remember this is from a much older Rin. I think it's pretty good but you guys can decide.
