Sand In My Shoes
By SMYGO4EVA
The beaches are so beautiful, with the coral sea delivering wave after wave of emerald water to the shores. I should know; we visited the beach all the time, when we were together, Minako. I never thought that those moments would end so quickly, with the warm sun shining upon us, smiling, feeling the wind beneath our skin and the waters cooling our feet, brushing our footsteps from the sand. It was as if the water had taken away the thought that we were even there, so when we came back, we planted our footsteps once again.
Then, I met her. Kaioh Michiru. She was a goddess incarnate; her wavy aqua hair coalesced with her lovely turquoise eyes, belonging to the sapphire sky above us. UI admit that I started to date her after we had our differences, Minako, but after I would see you, I felt the unbearable sensation sof guilts inside me. I was unfaithful to you, but it was my choice not to save us. And maybe it was your choiced, too. You're doing better. I know that. I've seen you with the priestess Hino Rei, and you look so happy. I want you to be happy. That's all I wish for.
No matter how much I love Michiru, every time we go to the beach of Avalon, I still get sand in my shoes. I can't shake the thought of you, of al the times we had spent on the very shoreline. I have moved on, but I still have feelings for you. I love Michiru, and I love you, Aino Minako. I still do.
