"It's only Words"

January. 2003 ShenLong

I watch you through the gathering of people and am reminded yet again of the ease in which you can relate with everyone. That happy-go-lucky personality of yours manages to win over the most dissent of people. As if feeling the weight of my eyes upon your form you slowly look in my direction, never ceasing in your conversation with the people around you. Your violet depths seek out my own and lock. A smile graces that sweet heart shaped face and I feel my breath catch in my throat.

// Smile an everlasting smile,
a smile can bring you near to me. //

That smile... somehow it always melts my heart; and you know it. Regardless of whether we are separated by an ocean of people, the vastness of space, or mere centimeters, that smile somehow melds us together. Distance ceases to exist as does the world around us when your face lights up with that inner beauty that is just for me.

But it wasn't always that way.

// Don't ever let me find you down,
'Cause that would bring a tear to me. //

I recall how during the wars you would break down with the burden of your 'sins'. I held you in my arms and tried to soothe away your fears and nightmares as you did for me. I hated to see you unhappy. Your face wasn't meant to be sad, the very spirit that was you was destined for happiness, not sorrow, and when you were quiet and withdrawn it weighed heavily upon my own soul and I vowed to keep that smile upon your face as much as I possibly could.

And I tried.

Most times I succeeded and you would look gratefully at me through misted eyes as I hugged you close. On those few occasions I failed I would join you with tears of my own.

// This world has lost its glory,
Let's start a brand new story now, my love. //

We fought for the colonies, we fought for peace, we fought for the weak, and we fought for the right to exist.

And we won that right.

All the pain, the suffering, the guilt and the nightmares were acknowledged as the universe became united under the ideals of pacifism and the blank pages of the future were opened up for us to write upon them what we would.

// Right now, there'll be no other time,
And I can show you how, my love. //

With the unification of the ruling bodies and the acceptance of the universal peace there remained only one more thing to do to make it all perfect.

As we stared up at the moon that night and I took you in my arms I knew what I had to do. With the wind as my witness I stooped on bended knee and spoke the words I had locked away in my heart for so long and never thought I would have had the opportunity to speak.

"Duo.... will you marry me?"

The shimmering of the moonlight as your eyes welled gave me my answer. The fierceness of your hug showed me the depth of your love. The kiss you bestowed on my lips promised me the future.

Now here I am, making my way amongst the crowd of people who have joined with us to celebrate this happy occasion to take you away with me.

// Talk in everlasting words,
And dedicate them all to me. //

Your voice as you spoke your vows to love and cherish me will stay with me forever. To stare into your amethyst jewels and read the trust there as that sweet melodic sound caressed my ears is a vision I will never forget. Have I told you just how much I adore the sound of your voice? I know I often berated you during the wars for your incessant babble but when I took the time to actually listen to what you said I found another intriguing facet in the enigma that was you and I grew to love the sounds that came from your throat.

Now it is constant music to my ears, whether it be chatting about nothing in particular, whispering words of love or screaming my name in passion as I take us both to heights we never dreamed of.

// And I will give you all my life,
I'm here if you should call to me. //

As I spoke my own vows so I locked each one within my heart. To watch your face as I responded with my own promise of love and adoration told me more than mere words ever could. I give to you my body, my heart, my mind and my soul for eternity.

// You think that I don't even mean
A single word I say. //

If you ever doubted my sincerity before, then the simple ceremony and the kiss I bestow at the finish of my vows serves to cement my feelings to you and I understand without the need for vocal confirmation that you accept all I have said.

I arrive finally at your side and place a tender kiss upon your lips. You smile at me and take my hand. Fingers entwined I lead you from the reception and the well wishes of friends and out to the waiting car. Arriving at our hotel I sign us in and lead you to our suite.

Kissing those pouting lips I close and lock the door before picking you up and carrying you to the bed. Removing the barrier of clothing I worship every inch of your skin and you return the gift to my own.

Our love making is tender and slow as we rediscover each others bodies. Gentle touches are received and given, whispers of breath upon heated flesh as we torture sensitive nerves drives us to unexplored heights. And when we rise together, reaching the point of ultimate pleasure I know my life is complete.

Your breathing settles and becomes deep and regular. I hold your naked form close to my own and brush away the few strands of silk that dared to obstruct my view of your perfect face; a face that is peaceful and content. My heart swells until I feel it must surely burst from the love I hold within.

I place feather kisses upon the soft skin of your jaw and neck and am warmed as you purr contentedly and snuggle closer to me.

// It's only words,
and words are all I have,
to take your heart away..... //

"Ai-shiteru Duo koi. Forever."
