Forever...

I sit here with thoughts pouring through my mind,
Each feeling rekindled time after time,
Emotions and longings that I can't deny,
Wishing to be by you forever.

How long have I stayed here?
I really don't know,
I guess when you dwell in emotion
Time will tend to go slow.
Prolonging these feelings that so unwillingly grow
Just wishing to be by you forever.

As my tears lift away with the subtle breeze,
I feel your kind presence drawing near to me.
My heart seems to strangle as I catch a glimpse of you,
Fearing the truth that I guess I already knew.
I figure this is something we both came here to say,
To clarify the thoughts that won't go away
I know she's still in your heart as of today,
You wish to be by her forever.

"Kagome…" You whisper my name into the wind,
Invoking my mind to think of such things,
Such things along with the way I feel,
These thoughts and desires too strong to conceal.
So Inu Yasha, stay quiet, let me speak in my shame,
But then again I know that you I cannot blame,
For what you shared with Kikyo just isn't the same,
You two were meant to be together.

Although they say Kikyo is I and I am in she,
We both know that us two are different entirely,
It's that difference which allowed you to make up your mind,
Deciding to stay lavished in that love years before my time.
But for now, Inu Yasha, as you take my hand,
I'll keep it a secret, the fact that you're more than a "friend".
Instead, I will smile and say that 'I understand…'
For I want you to be happy forever.

So as we stay here arm in arm beneath sun-dappled skies,
No matter what happens, I hope someday you'll realize,
That you've made up your decision and I've made up mine:
Although a romance for us we may never find,
Still, Inu Yasha for now up until the end of time,
I will always be by you…
