You don't realize what's happened

Until

You hit the ground.

And by then it's too late.

You're in too deep.

You find your thoughts filled with only

Her.

You can't stop wondering how

She

Is doing

And you can't help but cherish every fault

She

Has.

Yes.

I don't know how it happened.

I'm strong.

I'm confident.

I keep my emotions locked up

Behind my impenetrable poker-face.

But somehow

I find myself

Filled with thoughts

Of someone

Who is practically my

Polar Opposite.

I don't know how it happened.

She's weak.

She's insecure.

She is crystal see-through.

I can see right through her.

But somehow

She changed,

She grew

Into someone

Who turned my whole world

Upside Down.

Please Don't Leave

She begs,

She pleads.

Take Me With You

She asks,

She requests.

I Love You With All My Heart

She proclaims,

She cries.

I am touched.

Really I am.

I hear every word.

Every syllable tempts me.

Every purse of the lip

Every movement of her tongue

Drags me back.

It hits me then.

I love her.

I actually love her.

I want to stay with her.

But, I love her enough

To let her go.

To let her be normal.

To let her live.

"Thank you, Sakura"

I catch her as she falls,

Graceful as always.

Gently, I gather her

In my arms

And place her on

The bench.

She may never know

That I loved her.

She may never know

How badly I wanted to stay with her

She may never know

How I lovingly stroked her cheek

She may never know

That she was the one I gave my real first kiss too.

I am fine with that.

This is the path I must take.

These are the consequences I must face.

And this is the heartache I must feel.

You like? You hate? Should I Tiki-torch this fic and burn it while I do a hula dance?
