Distant Love

Copyright: I don't own Trigun or Vash ('cuz if I did...well I'll keep it a 'G' rating...)

*A story of the love between Vash and Meryl, from Vash's P.O.V.*

Bound by pain,
Surrounded by hate,
Trapped in sorrow,
But such is my fate.

I travel this world,
Alone and cold.
Searching for love,
Could I be so bold?

And in my search,
I found you.
My mayfly, a love
Which you searched, too.

And so our hearts,
Are one in the same.
We've found each other,
It's the end of the game.

Always together,
I'd like to stay.
But my broken past
Hold's you at bay.

So I'm content,
Staying right here.
Though my heart
Needs you near.

Please understand,
I know that you do.
Ever since we met,
You always knew.

You understood,
The only one
To see me now,
And not as I've done.

Though I still hurt,
My burden is lighter.
Because of you,
My future brighter.
