Summary- Harold reflects about his little sparrow…



*~*~*~*~*



I don't believe anyone thought I loved her.

That my affections towards her meant nothing.

That she was just my pawn in this tangled web of the underworld.

I don't even know if she knew that I loved her.

But I did.

She was like daughter to me. A beautiful bird that had flown into my dank world, brightening up my life. She was my everything. She was my little sparrow.

I remember when she had first came to the Moulin. A sickly little redheaded thing she was then. A timid girl with dreams of flying. And that girl managed to soften all our hearts. Most of all, she softened mine.

Then my little girl grew up, into the most beautiful woman I had ever seen. She was so dazzling, so enchanting, so full of life...

And I kept her caged.

I was too afraid to let her fly away from me, to let her leave me. So I clipped my sparrow's wings and put her in a glided caged. I was only trying to do what was best for her, just trying to protect her, but I only killed her spirit.

She deserved so much better than what I gave her. She deserved the sun the moon the star, she deserved so much more than being just a courtesan. She deserved to have some happiness, to find some love.

Then along came love when no one expected it. In all my years of having been with my little Strawberry, I had never seen her shine as much as she did then. She seemed to glow when she was with him. Her eyes danced when she watched him. Her smile seemed to glitter when she directed it at him. For the first time, she was truly happy.

But then I shattered it all. I took away her happiness. I robbed my chickpea of it...

And she hated me for it.

And I hated myself for it.

But somehow love found her again. With him, my love's heart took flight once more. For that short moment she burned brighter than all the stars in the heavens. Oh and how she shone then!

But then the lights were gone.

And she left us.

My Little Sparrow flew away...just like she had always dreamed of.
