A/N: I don't own Rurouni Kenshin or any of the characters, maybe one day but not as of yet, YET!

Prophecy
Give me one moment
and I'll give you the world.
Reveal to me your eyes
and I'll reveal to you my soul.

I fell full force
Fell for all of you;
Even the part you try so desperately
to hide.
Of all the battles you've fought
Why are you thwarted only by yourself?

I can heal your wounds,
I can give you solace,
I can give you shelter from your
turmoil.

I'm willing to risk it all
for your happiness.
I know the dangers,
I know the perils,
I know its worth it.

How is it that you can read
the slightest emotion of your opponents,
yet when I ooze emotion
it goes unnoticed?

I wish I could overlook you
as easily as you overlook me.

Yet,

Every so often I see a
tattered smile cross your
weathered face. A smile caused by me.

Hope

Fills me to capacity.
I see a glimmer of
us.
I see a future that
doesn't scare me at all.

I see you

unscathed by guilt,
freed from the nightmares
that plague you each night,
Finally happy.

I see you
with me.
