Always There

VvVvV

Was she your forever girl,

The one with the dewy eyes

That could freeze to

Icicles

In a matter of

Seconds?

VvVvV

Your cheeks flushed in the summer heat

As she stood right beside you

Beneath a full moon—

But it was the time for war,

Not love.

She said she was confused.

VvVvV

You wondered what

Was she confused about?

You'd figured it out

Some time ago, but waited

Patiently and impatiently

For her to understand too.

VvVvV

And the invasion began—

Once it had, you knew

You couldn't ignore

Your feelings anymore.

You'd never be able

To let go of her and that

Made the thought of losing her

A nightmare turned daydream

You never wanted to have.

VvVvV

You realized then

That maybe,

Maybe

You'd never see her again—

In this lifetime at least.

So you kissed her above the water,

Mid-rant and took

Off into the air—

Determined as a young man could be,

Because from that point on you

Weren't just some kid anymore.

VvVvV

The Avatar brought the war

To its end

And when you saw

Her again you smiled

Because she'd figured out

That you'd always been more than friends.

VvVvV

All that was left was for

The two of you

VvVvV

To live.

VvVvV

Baby, you're my forever girl.
