Notes: Thanks to Stayka and Valora for leaving me reviews...depending on the response I get for the next few chapters, I may or may not put this on semi-hiatus, i.e. deal with it occasionally when I'm in the mood. It seems like very few people are on ffn this year.
Anyway, a semi-romantic poem about Miho. I really like her, regardless of what anyone else says. The poem's end is better than its bulk, I think. Again, free verse...
A special comment: I do have the implication in the poem that Saori likes Seiya. Just to make this clear--I don't really like the SaorixSeiya pairing, nor do I think the show really tries to put them together. Actually, the show, if you look closely, has a lot of SeiyaxMiho references and suggestions, more than anything else. However, I feel like Miho would probably see these two beautiful girls around Seiya, and think that they're both in love with him, whether or not they are. But if you like Seiya with other people, that's your personal taste, and I'm not going to try to change it.
Foolish
Looking back now, I remember
I loved you since I met you
a carefree friendly boy
that everybody adored
You and your friends played soccer
and you had your beloved sister
yet you still had time for me
each time I asked you
I fell in love with the way you made me laugh
with your impulsiveness and rash heroics
but most of all I loved you
for the gentleness you always showed me
I cried that night when you left
I was angry that you had to go
especially to some far place where you might die
and I was angry at myself for not saying goodbye
Now you've returned to my life
but with a goddess and a warrior maiden beside you
I can easily see their true feelings
and I can't blame them for loving you
I'm afraid to ask you who you'd choose
I never said a word, acted like I didn't know
because I loved you so much
and I couldn't make you sad
Every time you leave to fight I pray for you
and I wonder if you remember who I am
a simple girl with nothing but love
like a fool, offering you her heart
