As inspired by Ash, I write a poem

If we were a fanfiction

If we were a fanfiction,
Could you be Cloud,
and me Tifa?

Then I'd be content with waiting for you to see me,
and finally, as the resolution comes,
you end my waiting with a kiss and thanks.

Or maybe we could have a tragedy,
then you'd be Zack,
and I'd be Aerith.

We'd make do with what little time we had together,
never complaning that as time wears on,
our romance ends with a couple of gunshots and blood everywhere.

Or if we went for true love without bounds,
maybe you could try as Vincent,
and I for Yuffie.

And we'd live by principles like,
Opposites Attract,
and Age doesn't matter.

Or if we had a comedy, and you didn't mind,
you'd be Tseng,
and me, Reno.

We'd live for the thrill,
and I'd talk, when you're silent,
and know that you're listening, all the time amused.

Or maybe a heartstopper,
then Will could be you,
and I'd be Lyra.

Or a fluffy one,
then you'd be Ron,
and I'll take the role as Hermione.

Or if it was an arranged marriage,
with deceit and lies as undertones,
Draco and Pansy might do it.

Or if we wanted violence and passion,
I wouldn't mind being Sasori
if you'd be Deidara.

And we could leave our lives to fanfiction writers,
who might kill us off in a heartbeat,
or let us live for the closing act.

And we'd have people debating,
picking the tiny incidents,
where we might be a canon pairing after all.

We wouldn't need to care if we weren't fated for each other,
if Sephiroth lived,
or how we'd survive Geostigma.

We wouldn't need to plan how we'd afford more food
or if we could support children,
the money would just appear.

Our romance could be swirling adventure,
or quiet appreciation,
or wracked with angst.

Our days could pass fast,
in half a chapter,
or stretched out over sixty.

Writing blocks would simply stall our time,
Confiscated computers would just add to the suspense,
and the frantic search for more synonyms for the odd word wouldn't bother us at all.

Everything would be planned out,
or maybe not at all,
but we wouldn't need to put in any effort.

Wrapped up in worlds of cliches
and sunsets that never end,
and we'd comfort ourselves with the knowledge that,

we'll always have a happy ending.

A.N.: Longest thing I've ever written. Fun all the same. If you know all the pairings mentioned, kudos to you, they're my favourites.
