The Loner
-by Ajora Fravashi
*Disclaimer - I don't own Digimon. Toei does.
*Ryo's such a good little muse ^^. For those who don't know, he's the
kid running around in the desert with Ken in Ken's flashbacks.

I always wanted to be someone
Hero, villian, doesn't matter which
I always wanted to matter to someone
Parents, friends, doesn't matter which

I told them once
I wanted a real pet, or a brother
I told them once
I wanted a real friend, or a partner

Parents said no
Friends let me down
'You're enough trouble, Ryo'
No one loves the class clown

I'm just a loner
It's all I've ever been
I'm just a Tamer
It's all I've ever known

I'm the different one
The odd man out
I'm the lonely one
That no one cares about

But baby, let me tell you
I've been all around this land
Come close and let me tell you
About all I've seen that's grand

Who else can claim
To be summoned by the Holy Beasts
Who else can claim
To spy upon their feasts

But I've had partners come and go
To no digimon have I ever bonded
I've had good friends come and go
Wish any feelings I had were unfounded

In this world, if just for the moment
I had a little brother
Wonder if he knew how much to me he meant
And I miss every partner

But I'm just a loner
It's all I've ever been
I'm just a Tamer
It's all I've ever known
