one thousand words
shuyin wants to tell lenne everything-
(how his heart felt like it had been torn out when they were parted
how prettily her caramel eyes shine – smoulder - in the moonlight like fireflies
how every touch and look and kiss makes him feel like heaven is falling down around his shoulders
how devastated he felt when he couldn't protect her – should've protected her
how selfish of him to let her lie there in the cold hard ground and cry her pretty eyes out because angels shouldn't cry
how he's going to hold in his arms and never, never, never let her go – death do they part, though it's too late for that
how they're going to get their happily ever after this time and nothing will tear them apart again
or he'll tear them down – ashes to ashes and dust to dust)
-but he supposes she'll just have to settle with 'i love you'-
("And I Love You Too, Shuyin")
-because they're already beginning to fade.
