Women I Gave My Heart To

There was a girl I met when I was younger. We were childhood classmates. I was a shy kid, not very confident in my abilities. The others kid were learning to skateboard and play the guitar so of course I followed suit. When you're young it's easy to be ridiculed for being different. Also it's easy to be made fun of for not being as skilled as the other kids. I was never good at skateboarding. Something about having to balance yourself on a board with two wheels escaped my grasp. Kazuya, the bully from class who also decided that he was the best skateboarder always gave me a hard time for not being able to keep up, but luckily she was always there to pick me up and give me encouragement. I swear, those were the best times of my childhood. It made failing almost worth it.

She was always on my mind and in one instance, I even ended up having a dream about her. I was the hero and it was up to me to restore order to the land. The world was taken over by an evil ruler who also resembled Kazuya. My problem was that I had this unlocked potential power but of course I wasn't sure how to activate it. He had gotten a bunch of bad guys together each with parts that I needed to unlock my full potential. I had to defeat each of them one by one to recollect all the pieces, but it turned out that this girl I was in love with was one of the bosses. But instead of fighting her I took all of her attacks. I held on as long as I could until finally my persistance made her change her mind. Instead of destroying me, she ended up joining forces and added her powers to mine. With all the powers combined, I took on the evil emperor and saved the day. I even got the girl that is until I woke up...

I miss you Pico/Kirah
