Opposites attract
We were very much different, he had this almost permanent light tan skin tone. I was vastly more pale. Yet even as young as we were I had this irresistible urge to be around him. We had become fast friends and I honestly believe it was the first and only time I had fallen in love. Then one day my heart was broken my parents decided to move away. I was devastated how could they do this. Couldn't they see how happy I was around him. Of course they could in fact they thought I was a little to happy around him. I decided to beg him to try and come with me, to sway is parents to follow us up to the very last miniute before they practically dragged me away. They never came……….
Years flew by like leaves in the wind. I never really forgot about him, he was always in the back of my mind. I was always judging others by the memory of him and the fantasy I had created on how he might be after all this time. Then as life so often dose, it threw the past into the present. And there he was standing right there in front of me. He had changed in so many ways yet his face and eyes reminded the same. Those deep crystal like eyes his beautiful face stating back at me.
I thought long and hard about him after that first meeting, I Felt the full range of emotions a guy could feel. I doubted he was there at first then tossed away such a ridicules notion. I new it was him, I could feel it down in my very soul. And my soul was set a blasé at the mere thought of him. Yet I was furious at the thought that he had chose to fight against me. Why? Did he hate me? Perhaps he wasn't the sweet innocent boy I had come to make my self believe he would be.
Come to find out he was. I was the one who had changed. I had become so bitter so driven by the death of my mother that I had lost who I was. But he never gave up on me even during our battles against each other he never gave up the hope he could find the person inside of me he had once loved. And he found it
Yes, he found it locked away deep inside. His unwavering support and love allowed me to do the impossible. To become the person I was always meant to be rather then the person a war had turned me into.
Now after all this time since the wars end and we had decided to build a life together I still lay here in our bed staring in awe at him outlined by the faint moon light and wonder why he still puts up with me. And I get to smile softly to my self because I already know the answer. It the same answer I give him when he asks me that very question. And the answer will never change….. I Love You Kira.
