Dreams unlock the desires within my chambered heart

Oh, when did I become the Kagome in this situation?

How did it take me so long to notice?

How an innocent crush had developed thus far.

A love triangle within my grasp that no one intently wanted.

A world of a different kind, I’ve never been a part of.

Of course, I’d have feelings for the guy who is emotionally unavailable.

Inuyasha, my heart goes out to you.

Among the sparkling stars, awaits our new adventure.

Deep down, I know Kikyo would’ve wanted him to be happy.

Real-life isn’t meant to deal with such destain.

Goes to show, fairytales were just meant to be stories.

They say that good girls are quiet.

Almost as if you spoke the truth about your feelings,

Then internally you admit defeat.

Brokenness and scattered hearts, leaving scars.

No room to open up and let him into my world.

Dearest, it’s the dreams that truly haunt me.

I close my eyes as you slip right into yet another fantasy.

You pull me in, yet I can’t reach out.

Unresolved endings always lead your mind to wander,

Where it all comes back to her.

I would let you go if that’s what you wanted.

However, I’m stuck on him since the very first mention of his name.

Too bad, it’s only just a schoolgirl crush.

I can’t go back in time to meet him, sleeping so soundly among the forest trees.

His peaceful expression, I hope his chases his own haunted demons away.

If only, to get his own happy ending to see how his story goes.
