I wanted to be like you
I wanted everything…
I was only six years old when my classmates started bullying me
It's because I have a very bad case of heart disease that's when I met Akira Okuzaki
Akira protected me, she's new from my class not only that her class is only two blocks away from my home. Not only she's intelligent but strong too. I adore everything about her
So I tried to be like you
And I got swept away…
One time I saw her so I packed all my courage to sit beside her she didn't asked me to go away or looked at me she did nothing
I broke the silence and spoke "Thank you for saving me the other day"
She looked at me without any emotions at all and answered "You already thanked me didn't you?" I looked away embarrassed I could feel her smirk and I smile. "Could you teach me how to fight like that?" her smile faded and turned to a grin "Why would I teach you something like that? So that you could beat them to the pulp?" she asked I blushed "No I wanted to marry you so I wanted to be able to protect you with my own strength" her eyes widened. When I remember those times when were still a child, I find it very amusing. How I can easily tell her my feelings without hesitation unlike now. I could feel that our relationship is full of holes.
I didn't know that it was so cold and
you needed someone to show you the way
I didn't know myself how I convinced her to train me it just happened. Back then I thought it would be like this forever. Me and her happy but what is happiness? Is she even happy when she's with me? How naïve of me to think of that little did I know there have been always a dark shadow within her I am just too self-centred to see it. I saw that shadow when I witnessed how she was slapped by her father in the school office when we were seven years later when we met. How come I didn't notice? So that's why she didn't some home for Christmas Eve, New Year's, summer vacation etc. 'she was too secretive that why' my mind reason but no if I just kept my eyes open I wouldn't be this clueless about her life. How almost all of her life she lived in the dorm.
So I took your hand and
we figure out that when the time comes
I'll take you away…
For the thousandth time I sneaked out and went to her dorm room the security in the dorm isn't tight at all so it was never a challenge but dangerous enough for weaklings like me. When I saw her she looked like a broken doll. "I'm sorry" I whispered hugging her "If only I am more intelligent to see what's really happening but here I am always trying to butt in your business, bothering you" Akira chuckled and tightened the hug "Stupid. I will only tell this once so listen to me I am happy because you …" she paused and gulped forcing herself to finish what she is saying "are always there" I am so happy but that happiness was hastily changed by my worry if only I am strong enough to tell her, have the confidence to tell her that I will make her happy. I will take her away.
If you want to I can save you
I can take you away from here
So lonely inside so busy out there
And
All you wanted was somebody who cares…
I held her face and caressed it. She smiled and close her eyes I looked at her she must skip her meal again like always she may have an ulcer if that habit of hers continued. I make a move and look at her refrigerator "Ne Akira do you want to go outside accompany me in the market to buy some things?" I hold her hand and squeezed it when we were in the market I didn't let go of her hand "What the hell Takumi they are looking at us" she whispered harshly trying to calm down. I try to play dumb with her so I put up my most innocent expression "What did I do?" she was trying to free her hand but I didn't bulge "What! Let go of me Takumi!" she demanded as quietly as possible. "Let go of what Akira?" I asked slyly. I put my face close to her that our foreheads are touching she was trying to back away but I was still holding her hand so she can't. "If you're asking me to let go of you then think twice because whether you like it or not I'll always be here beside you, always here to care for you and loving you. That shut her up now I know what I really wanted that's why even though I was happy there is something that is missing and last but not the least I know now what Akira wanted.
