Some Semblance of Perfection

 

Sometimes I think I feel The Other's eyes on me, studying me as intently as I do them; but then logic takes control once more and I know I only imagined the feeling. Truth is, I wish more than anything that The Other would take notice of me more than as “just friends.” Unfortunately, I know it will not happen, not yet anyway. Not when things have been so messed up lately.

 

In a perfect world, where nothing went horribly wrong, where nobody had to worry about anything, where we were free to do whatever we wished, perhaps I could have summoned the courage to tell That One how I feel. And That One would agree. Hell, we would probably even live happily ever after, if you really want to get sappy about it. But this world is not perfect, I cannot tell My Secret Love how I feel, and That One most certainly does not feel the same way about me. It is a fate I (as well as the rest of the world) am doomed to suffer until life can become perfect - in short, forever.

 

Is it really the imperfections of the world that make it so beautiful? Surely not. Surely that is just some stupid philosophical idea that, underneath all the poetic symbols and metaphors, indeed means nothing at all. It is just an empty concept meant to make humans feel better about the veritable hell we occupy for the time being.

 

Perhaps it is all about perception. When I look at My Secret Love, I do indeed see perfection unlike any other to grace this earth. When one looks at one's self, however, one will only see flaws - it is true for That One as well. So I keep my thoughts to myself, I make no move, no mention of what I feel inside. I must wait…and continue to watch, until such time as will be…well…perfect.

 

Owari.

 

 

 

Author's Note: For once I wrote something without a specific pairing…well, not an FMA pairing anyway. Umm, Royai? Edwin? RoyEd? I have no clue.

 

Written while on vacation - sort of. So I'm not sure about how good it is. I kind of forced it, so it might be pretty crappy. You tell me.

 

And if anyone was wondering, last chapter was written in dedication to Ross and Broche. ^-^ Admit it, they're cute together. And this chapter was actually inspired by Lupin and Tonks from Harry Potter (am total geek, yes.) Hmmmmm, maybe I should post my ambiguous series there, yes?
