The following is a freestyle poem that depicts a moment of reflection during a rare moment of peace for the Team Rocket trio. The stanzas in purple are written in James' point of view and the stanzas in red are written in Jessie's point of view.
Can't Run From You
I can still vividly remember when I met you
I was always running away, my past behind me like a shadow
I failed everywhere I went or I just gave up
All I knew was how to run
I thought that was all my life would be
And then I met you
I remember when we met
Until then, I had lived completely alone
My life was one disappointment after another
A broken heart here, a broken dream there, another back disappearing,
I thought that was all life was
And then I met you
When we first met,
You scared me half to death,
For a moment I thought my past had caught up with me at last
When you laid eyes on me,
You looked so scared for a moment
Before you tried to look as if nothing bothered you
But soon I realized you were different.
I grew to recognize your red-violet hair that trails behind you like a comet,
Your blue eyes that blaze with passion,
The way you radiate confidence in every step
And yet… so vulnerable at the same time
Your trembling green eyes grew more determined as time went on,
I grew to know your soft lavender hair and carefree laugh
You act so cheerful, as innocent as one can be in our profession
And yet… so haunted
I won’t pretend it’s easy
You’re bossy, you’re selfish,
Your temper could scare a Gyarados
It's not always easy
You’re whiny, you’re clumsy,
You mess up my plans
You’re too sentimental for your own good sometimes
But whenever I’m scared,
Pinned with no way to escape,
You’re there at my side, holding me tight
You’ve saved me more times than I can count
But so many times when I’m on the brink of despair,
When I think I’m all alone once more,
You’re there to lift me back up,
To remind me I’m not alone anymore
You haven’t left me yet
You’re cunning, you’re confident, you’re my shoulder to lean on
You accept me for all I am, you never try to change me
And every time I think I’m going to lose you,
It hurts worse than anything she can do to me
You’re sly, you're funny, you're trustworthy,
You're always there for me
Above all, you’re my best friend
I used to fear that running away was all my life would be
But now I don't
Because I can’t run from you!
I thought I closed my heart away,
That I’d never trust again
You proved me wrong
The sun is rising now
You’re sleeping beside me,
A half finished scheme laid out in front of you,
Our furry friend curled between us.
Your head’s resting against my shoulder,
Your breathing more peaceful than I can ever remember
There’s a warm feeling in my heart as I look at you
And I wonder
Is this feeling... love?
