On days like these, ones that are warm but not too warm due to a light breeze brushing past my face, I look up to the sky and wonder just what it would feel like to spread my wings and fly.
I bet the wind could carry me far from the place, soaring upon it to wherever it took me. That would be so nice. Wouldn’t it?
Sadly, this is but a fantasy of mine, because you see these wings of mine have been clipped. Clipped for a while now.
Occasionally, the cage door is left open. A nice temptation for someone such as me, but because of my useless wings I cannot go far. Or so I thought.
The day I meant you, something within me changed. I felt that despite my wings being clipped, I could fly so high carried on the wind; the wind stirred up within me by you. I was lifted so high just by your laugh, and not to mention your blatant honesty. I know the way I choose to exist in this world is a foreign one to you, but it’s the one I’ve chosen since I was confined to my cage and could no longer fly.
You took notice and old me that despite my clipped wings I could still find a way to soar. I was so taken by you, but the thing is I’m too afraid to leave my cage. I know where I am, I am given what I need, but if I leave the safety of my cage I may lose everything.
I could never be the man you deserve. That’s why I must apologize to you, Arisa, because you will probably never see me again. It’s really better if you forget about me.
I’m sorry...Arisa....but you see I cannot fly to you with these crippled wings.
Yours,
Kureno
