A/N: Hello! A short ramble about HijiMitsu. Feel free to read it forward and backward. :) It might be different? Inspired by "A Thousand Years" by Christina Perri. Thank you for reading this!

I love you.
What are words to birds? Are they as meaningless as their melodies are to us?
I love you.
Why can't I hear you, why can't I see you? I've waited for this day, this one day that means nothing to all others.
I will believe myself.
I will not let myself or anyone tear you away, let your smile crack, let bitter tears fall.
Can I trust myself?
I won't let this life go, I won't let this ache go, I won't let you go.
I must protect you.
The flit of the butterfly, deep garnet blush upon its wings, the dying light of day.
I must protect you.
The flit of the firefly, brave emerald shine, so weak, so naive, so hopeful.
Tell me the way to her heart, tell me how to tread beneath the sun.
Silvery eyes, cold and scared, the bear afraid of ice cracking beneath him.
Tell me the way to his heart, show me the path under the moon.
Embery eyes, wavering and fearing, the deer afraid of long shadows above her.
A half-promise so promising, a swear made to fall, happiness the trap before grief.
The first drop of sunlight in spring before snow eats away, mocking.
Anything, everything, grief is only the valley before the mountain of joy.
The first drop of rain in spring after the snow ate away, melting.
Don't go.
Colder than winter, cleaner than spring, silent is the dead forest.
I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I'm sorry.
Warmer than summer, sadder than autumn, silent is the still heart.
