Closer now...

Just one step away.

I'm mentally prepared to crash or even get slapped anyway. She has every right to do so. I certainly haven't done enough (is the lack of opportunity an excuse?), and whatever I have might simply be NOT what she was looking out for.

I'm sure she knows exactly what to say, and she won't leak it until I draw first blood.

And it should please her to know...the blood's all my own.

But yet...I'm choosing to leave it for the last touchdown. She doesn't, or rather claims she doesn't want to read too much into it. Suits me fine, I've read everything loud and clear until now.

Blame me for being late, but I'll still tell her there could be no better time.

Even if she knew what to say, she will find it hard to walk away...right away.

No doubt about it, Someone out there was listening, and He's got my kamikaze (かみかぜ) ready for me.
