A tough exterior

A soft interior

This ivory smooth skin hides so much

So much more to me

Then they may ever know

I must fight to protect her

There is no other option for me

I can't let her ever face the same fate

The same fate as him

I can still see his face among the misty pyreflies

Don't fly away yet

I'll watch her grow

Like I've always done

So young yet so beautiful

It wasn't hard for her to win his heart

Just don't let him break hers

She has seen too much now

Let her eyes take a rest

Why must I watch her now in sadness?

Those two bejeweled eyes searching

Out over the endless sea

A ringing tone

Escaping from her lips

I won't tell her

But I know he's not coming back
