Little Wishes - by The Legendary Redhawke
------------------------------------------------------------------------


The soft silken fabric waving eerily in the summer's breeze, as your
glowing smile radiates throughout. Your deep eyes say more to my
soul than ever could a word from o'er your dainty, supple lips. I
find myself drifting over and over, away from this world, to the
memory, dreamlike ever. The time is far beyond my mortal grasp, for
though it seems as yesterday's, tomorrow's also speaks as such.

My mind can remember but one glowing effigy: Your tender, beautiful
body in my arms. Dazzled by your gaze into mine eyes, never could I
speak what emotion lay within my heart.

I'm so sorry my love.

I knew, I know what hallowed feelings speak, and how they behave
within a soul so gallant as your own, but ne'er could I bespeak them.

As my hands lay upon your soft waist, we dance slowly. Forehead to
forehead, ever enjoying the stillness of each other, we drift. Off
to some other place, we aptly sail. We hold each other closer, and
closer, never wanting to release that which we hold so dear.

The music ceases as we stare deep into each other's eyes, the spheres
glowing softly, and strongly. One gentle smile parts my lips, and my
one, follows suit. Longingly, I manage to bring but one request across
the ear of my true, "Can I kiss you?"

Without a word, or an answer, our lips meet upon the dimmed dance floor.
All our emotion, rushing out from our lips, as we enjoyed our love.

As we parted, the dazzling afterglow bathed us in the sweetest emotion
one could e'er hope to describe. No word, no speech, no sound, none but
emotion sensed between these two lovers.

Once more, we held each other tightly. Her soft body clutching mine, as
we try to never let each other go. So long seemed the embrace, but ended
t'was, piteous to both.

She dashed from the darkened room, as her midnight had come. I remained,
alone, fargone, and sorrowed. My only hope, that she might return for a
final, lasting goodbye.

Eternity passing, in but minutes few, before my tender sweet, returns to
me. I couldn't know, I shant have known, that she would return, but for
one final goodbye.

My love but once returned, to say her final words that night. These
words were few and silent, as we kissed each other one final passionate
time. Our lips locked this time, no longer in a soft manner, but rather
in a long, desiring wonder. When finally we did part, as was inevitable,
we held each other in the final embrace, to last until we next may meet.

I'm so sorry my love.

My little wishes toward the heaven, may be in vain indeed, but without such,
mine shall be doomed. When first I left your glorious self, I could ne'er
have imagined how much I would be torn apart, but when we left each other
secondly, my heart ached, knowing its fate. Every moment, my soul longs to
be with yours, everlong.

Wishes are as roses: though beautiful, and radiant, to keep one to oneself,
is a sin unforgivable.

I'm so sorry my love.

Sweet as my words may be, and much as I feel, I am but a coward. The few
words that would but seal our union, could not I speak. Lovers' longings
are overpowering, but cannot overcome all.

I wish I was more brave.

I wish that night could have lasted forever.

I wish I had another chance.

I wish that I had said those little words, that would complete us two.

I wish that you could hear me now.

"I Love You Minako."
