TAITO. This is Yamato speaking about Taichi after he realizes what he has been going through as leader and how much it’s affecting him.

Disclaimer: I’ve been forgetting to do this to my other works, so this applies to everything I’ve submitted thus far. I DO NOT OWN DIGIMON. Hard to believe, ne? *sigh* well, I’m depressed now, but at least I said it.

My Perfect Flame

Do you know how I feel?

Do you know how much I love you?

How with just a simple gesture or a few kind words you can melt my heart?

You’re like that with everyone.

Always taking on the role of the friend and protector.

But tell me,

Do you ever think of protecting yourself?

Everything is always put on you because you’re the leader.

We accepted that long ago.

We pushed you into that position.

Now you just take it all.

All the pain,

All the loneliness,

The guilt and fear…

Let me help.

You think I don’t notice, but I do.

I’ve followed you before,

Seen your tears fall,

Heard you cry out as though your heart had shattered into a million pieces.

It makes my heart feel about to break too,

To see you that way, so afraid.

If I were to try,

Would you let me hold you?

Those flames that used to dance wildly in your eyes,

Now only dim memories.

Sure, the false sparks are still there,

But I miss that intense fire.

It used to keep me warm,

Now I’m cold.

Why do you try and conceal your pain?

Please, let me help you.

Let me be there to take the sorrow away.

Let me feel your heart beat with mine.

Let me hold your hand when you’re scared.

Would you run away if I tried to hold you?

Would it only make you sink deeper?

Let me try anyway.

Give me a moment to gather my heart,

Before I lay it out in front of you.

Show me your soul and let me heal it.

Show me your fears and let me tell you it’s all right

Show me that fire that once illuminated your chocolate eyes,,

Those perfect flames that I adore.

And allow me,

If only for tonight.

To heal your broken wings.

THE END
