Twinleafshipping: Because I Realized I Love You a Little Too Late

A/N: Hey guys! Heads up - this is going to be a very sad Twinleafshipping one-shot.

...

Dawn's eyes were red and puffy from crying after what had happened the previous week. She felt so bad about everything. It was her fault Barry left Sinnoh. She didn't bother to go after him. She figured it would hurt him more if she did.

I need to apologise... But I can't bear to talk to him... she thought to herself. After a while, she decided to write him a note.

After what seemed to be eternity, she was finally done with the note. Blinking back tears, she read it.

To Barry:

I remember every morning

The Starlies sang their song of hope

The morning air would be crisp

And you would be there

To be my alarm clock

You were always so hasty

Constantly in a rush to go somewhere

I've always waited for you to slow down

And realize my feelings for you

But you were immature so you didn't notice anything

I kept my patience

I kept my cool

I knew one day you'd realise how much you mean to me

But I didn't realize that till it was too late

I've always pointed out your flaws

And overlooked your strengths

I held you down

While trying to climb higher up

You were trying to pull out of my grip

You tried proving your worth to me

But I guess I never noticed

That I was holding you down

For my selfish reasons

You lived with the pain

But bottling up your emotions isn't healthy

It all fell apart at one night

When you snapped

You couldn't handle it

You couldn't handle the pain

It was beating down on you

For far too long

And I never saw how you were suffering

Till you pointed it out

You blew up at me

You told me about the pain

I was putting you through

I was cold-hearted

It was like my heart was dressed in stone
