Poetry of the Senshi's Heart Chapter 1: Because You Loved Me, a dragon ball z fanfic

Because You Loved Me Written by Jennifer

Disclaimer: Of course, I do not own Dragonball Z or the song Because You Love Me, which was by Celine Dion.

Authors Note: This takes place after Vegeta sacrificed himself to save the planet and his family from Buu. To some, Vegeta might seem a bit OOC, but not by much I think. Anyway, I couldn't help but do songfic with this song. Not only is it one of my favorite songs, but it also fits this relationship so well, so it was only a matter of time before I wrote it. ^^ This is my first songfic, so be nice! ^_~ Ja matta ne minna!!

Bulma walked out onto her balcony the next morning after a restless night of sleep. The sun was just coming up over the horizon and the temperature of the air was just right for a new spring day. She still wore her nightgown along with a long comfortable robe draped over it. She looked up into the cloudless sky as tears started to blur her vision. The thoughts of Vegeta began to flood her mind once again. It had only been a week after the battle with Buu, but to her, it had seemed like forever. Bulma began to reflect back on the times she had spent with her love, and what all he had meant to her.

For all those times you stood by me
For all the truth that you made me see
For all the joy you brought to my life
For all the wrong that you made right
For every dream you made come true
For all the love I found in you
I'll be forever thankful baby
You're the one who held me up
Never let me fall
You're the one who saw me through, through it all

Bulma couldn't control herself any longer and finally burst out in tears. She sank down to the floor and leaned against the railing as she tried to take in deep breaths in attempt to calm herself. "Vegeta", she whispered in hope that he would appear right in front of her, but of course, he wouldn't. She began talking to herself, just letting all that she was feeling inside come out. "Vegeta…you were the one that kept me going. You gave me something to live for and you had your own special way to show me that you really did love me. I knew you did, even though you never really said it. I could see it in your eyes and all the love that you wanted to show, but couldn't."

You were my strength when I was weak
You were my voice when I couldn't speak
You were my eyes when I couldn't see
You saw the best there was in me
Lifted me up when I couldn't reach
You gave me faith 'coz you believed
I'm everything I am
Because you loved me

Then she looked up and started to get control over her emotions again. "No…I shouldn't cry. What would Vegeta say? He never did like to see me cry.", she said with a slight smile. "He's the one that gave me what I have. The first one that showed me love, true love. If it wasn't for him, I would never have known what it was like to be loved, and love in return."

You gave me wings and made me fly
You touched my hand I could touch the sky
I lost my faith, you gave it back to me
You said no star was out of reach
You stood by me and I stood tall
I had your love I had it all
I'm grateful for each day you gave me
Maybe I don't know that much
But I know this much is true
I was blessed because I was loved by you

As Bulma walked back into the house, Vegeta had been watching on, from King Kai's planet. He too had slight tears in his eyes after hearing Bulma's words of love. "Bulma…I'm sorry that I never told you how much I really cared about you, but…I'm glad that you knew. Even if you can't hear me now…I love you."

While Vegeta looked back on his life with Bulma, he remembered all the times that she had stood by him, throughout the tough times and sad times that he had regrettably put her through. Even when he didn't show his affection, she was there to comfort him and to tell him that she was there and that she cared. "Even if you can't hear me now, baby…I love you.", he repeated softly.

You were always there for me
The tender wind that carried me
A light in the dark shining your love into my life
You've been my inspiration
Through the lies you were the truth
My world is a better place because of you

Back on Earth, Bulma suddenly stopped and looked up, then with a small grin, a tear slid down her cheek. Although it was very faint, she could somehow hear a whisper in the back of her mind telling her that he loved her. She whispered back, "I hear you, baby."
