Hey all... It's been a long time since I last wrote anything.. lol. But fear not, I have returned with many a trick up my sleeve to entertain and amaze. This is what I consider a drabble, I'm not very proud of the way she goes on and on in this, but I think it's more of an intense reflection of emotions. Which is why it's so wordy, I guess. Anyway, I recommend the music tracks "awaken" "forsaken" and "Human Disease" and finally "Feast of Friends" by Digital dream. which is techno/classical. Just because that's what I listened to as I wrote this. Please, it would be appreciated if you told me anything you thought or felt when you read this. Thank you.

I wonder if this was how Icarus felt when he soared high above the clouds, drifting towards the sun. That euphoric state where nothing mattered and time was forgotten until harsh reality came crashing down, taking everything with it.

It's like one of those falling dreams I have where you feel your stomach drop, you defy convention, and for a moment you escape logic and you're free.The wind catches you, cradling you with it's cold embrace as you wait for inevitability.

Such is how I feel when I am near you.

I smile, watching you speak. I remember that one night long ago when we had stolen a bottle of bitter ale from Ingo as he slept.

That night the moon shone big and full and bright. Our cheeks were flushed with drink and the firelight danced. You told me I was beautiful...That you liked my laughter best of all.

That one day, if the fates weren't against it, you would like to court me.

The next morning I awoke in the hay of one of the stalls in the barn and saw you across from me, still asleep. You must have felt my eyes on you, for you woke and smiled, sleepily asking to know what you told me the night before. I smiled and told the silly jokes and odd bits of conversation I recalled. Though I kept all your confessions locked in my heart, afraid if you knew what you had said, you would take them back and apologize saying it was only drunken ramblings. Because as foolish as it sounds, they were more precious to me then any gem in all of Hyrule.

One day, not long after..

You spoke of her. She with hair like spun gold and clear eyes as blue as the sky.

She, who was your goddess.

I felt foolish. That fire the burned inside me flickered.

" I love you, I love you, I love you" My heart cried.

" No, you fool." My head told me "You cannot love one you know so little of. Do not fill yourself with foolish hopes and silly dreams, lest they be merely such and nothing more."

I wish for nothing but your happiness.

Yet the darker side of me wishes that it would lie within me. You smile when you speak of her and I feel that familiar ache in my heart.

I curse her still, silently knowing that it is wrong and feel more ashamed of myself then before. I want to be close to you, I want to be apart of something that matters.

There are so many things I want to tell you but I cannot make my mouth move to form form the words I want to say.. So I remain silent.

For now, there is nothing more to do or say.

I shall remain happy that you..

You... are my closest friend.

Yes, lol. Wordy.. I like words quite a bit and feel I did alright with this. I'm not sure what to say other then she was bearing her heart to herself, trying to pull apart her emotions and make sense of them. This was a one-shot btw. I'd like to know if anyone else has ever felt this intense before, if this is somewhat realistic. It is for me anyway. Alright, well thank you for reading. Pleasant something, people.
