I love her.
I love her.
I love her. That is the plain unadorned truth, to me she is perfection in an imperfect world, an unobtainable goddess of the earth. She is everything I thirst for, a beautiful oasis that haunts my dreams, yet I dare not drink. For she is not mine. Another plain truth, she is not mine and never will be, except in my dreams.
Love.
Love is patient, love is kind. It does not envy, it does not boast, it is not proud. It is not rude, it is not self-seeking. It is not easily angered, it keeps no record of wrongs. Love does not delight in evil, but rejoices with the truth. It always protects, always trusts, always hopes, always perseveres. Love never fails.
Love is both my blessing and my curse.
Sometimes I wish we had never met, never crossed paths, then I would still be content to bed the first beautiful woman that came my way. I would be free of my curse, my torment, my dreams. I would not have to see her every night, dancing through my dreams like a water nymph, plying me with promises of ecstacy and pleasure, of freedom and trust, of soft touchs and kisses.
Of love.
But, then I think of the way my heart fills when she looks at me, the way my soul takes wings when she smiles...the way I shatter into a thousand pieces delight if she touches me. I think of the way she laughs, the high tinkling sound of bells. The way she tucks her hair behind her ears revealing soft pale skin. The way she focuses solely on me when we spar.
This is my blessing.
Tristan knows I think, that man knows everything. He will not say anything...as will I. I could not betray my commander, my shieldmate, my brother. What answer would I give him if he asked why?. What would I say? I did it for love?
I love her, that is the plain unadorned truth.
Even if I will never know if she could have loved me back.
