Choice.

Something he never had.

Many things he had

But a choice was not one of them

Not a choice to fight

Not a choice to have his life brutally cut so short;

born into a dark and hateful death

Not a choice to continue to fight;

forged in a bloody war, unjust in everyway possible

But his state of mind, that he did choose

Maybe not consciously, at the very least

But still aware that what he had so little choice in

Would be his only opportunity to escape this life

If you could call it a life

Either way he seized the chance

Letting it guide him in every which direction

Sometimes dragging him into not the best situations

He was beginning to lose his hope;

More than what was already forever gone

What was he searching for?

Or will he ever find it?

That's when fate took control of him

Leading him to a light

A beautiful light

He didn't understand the feelings he felt for the tiny girl

Giving him a new start no matter how gruesome a past he had

Until she voiced what fate had so graciously pointed out to him

And his mind ran rampant,

Recollecting the intensity of this feeling

Sure, he had no choices

It had been the hand the world dealt him

But taking her hand was a step forward

Getting closer to what his conscious mind had been screaming at him

They were meant to be together.

Forever.

And he will never let go of her,

Afraid she might disappear

He may always be reminded of his part

Though he will never forget how lost he was

One can only come to this conclusion;

Saved by Love

Isn't just a saying.
