The original poem was written several months ago, when I was in emotional turmoil over my unfortunate (yet fortunate) circumstances with my (first real) crush. After looking at it again, I decided to modify it to fit Heero's point of view of his relationship with Relena and...viola!
Enjoy!
The One Thing I?d Say
If there was one thing that I could say to you
I?d say this:
I love you
I laugh at myself
I?ve fallen in love with you
Someone who?d never love me back
The way I desperately want you to
You are the anchor that keeps me in reality
The one who gives me hope
In a world full of conflict
And people who wouldn?t think twice
Of shattering the peace we gave so much for
The one thing I?d say to you can never be said
There is a line that can never be crossed
Between the two of us
How I desperately wish that weren?t the case
You keep me going
You keep me from going on a path of self-destruction
You know me so well
Yet you don?t know me at all
You don?t know I love you so much
Fate must be laughing now
At the predicament I?m in
Must be laughing
At the fool I am
I love you so much
I love you for the person you are
The compassionate, gentle-hearted girl
I?ve known for so many years
The inspiring woman you have become
For so long I never realized
That I had lost my heart to you
I can never tell you how I feel
You can never love someone with so much blood on his hands
You have no idea how much that hurts
How much it stings
To know that the one you love
Can never love you back
You are the symbol of Peace
I am the sword in which one wields
You are a princess
I am a soldier
How can we be together
When we?re doomed to despair?
Fate is gracious
To have given me the chance to be beside you
Fate is kind
To have given me this hope
Fate is cruel
To have given me this pain
The one thing I?d say
Can never be said
How I desperately wish
That wasn?t the case
But I can be content
With what we have
Just so I can be close to you
Loving you from so near
Yet loving you from so far away
