Confessions

There was no falling in love! It was there the whole time- she just didn't know it.

Why?

I don't get it!

It isn't fair.

I hate you.

Why did you say that?

What made you say that to me?

You've ruined everything.

What possessed you, that you would say such a thing?

Are you mocking me? ...no, I see the truth in your eyes.

Damn you.

It's all your fault.

I can't hide anymore, because of what you said.

I can't go on pretending while you look at me with such a serious face.

I can't do this.

I hate you.

You were supposed to marry a pretty girl, have a nice family...

You were supposed to leave me alone.

Why?

Why can't you just ignore me, like everyone else?

When no one pays attention, the pang of loneliness numbs itself, and I can't feel a thing...

But then you came and warmed my heart, and now I can feel every single pain all over again.

It hurts, it hurts so much...

I don't understand.

Why?

I hated you.

So why do I have to love you so much?

And why do you love me?

I love you because you smile no matter what they do.

I love you because you never give up.

I love you because your eyes give me hope that I've never felt.

I love you because you are my equal in strength and skill.

I love you because you never gave up on me.

I love you because you don't care about my bloodline.

I love you because you would sacrifice yourself to make me happy.

I love you because we've been through so much, there's no possible way I could not love you.

I love your laugh.

I love your energy.

I want to make sure no one ever mistreats you again.

I want you to never be alone at night.

I want to kiss away all of your tears that you shed in private.

I want you to be mine.

But every night I lie awake, thinking about what I did to you...

Wondering if you would ever really forgive me.

So why?

Why do you love me?

I betrayed you, nearly killed you.

I used to mock you and taunt you.

So why?

I want you to be happy, I want you to have your heir and live a long life and not be shunned by the village and-

But I don't care.

You know what I am. And I'm...I'm afraid. Afraid that one day, the seal may break completely, and...

I don't want to hurt you.

You were my first rival, my first friend...

And the first person to actually love me.

I don't care what you did to me- after you came back, I didn't give it a second thought.

I tried to bring you back because I didn't want you to die.

I love you more than life...

I want to always protect you...

You'll be hated.

I don't care.

I once tried to kill you...

But you love me now.

Yes.

...will you always love me?

Forever. Will you never leave me?

Never.

I can't believe you forgive me.

I can't believe you love me.
