*I don't own Jane and the Dragon or its characters
This was written for SkyeElf.
It wasn't supposed to happen
There was no way that I could love
Then this human invaded my life
Attacking without end
Then she stopped and so did I
We made peace, she said I was more
More of what she wanted to be
I said the same
We became friends
And she loved me
I don't know how
There was no way she would love me
But she did
She loved me, but not like how I loved her
I followed her endlessly
To somewhere and nowhere
To wherever she wanted to go
I was her friend that was no better than an overgrown pet
I fought in the war for her
She fed me treats
I torched a whole fields for her
She scratched my back
She graced me with kindness, with a kiss on the nose, or with a tickle on my wing
Even if those things felt nice
I wanted a kiss on the lips
I wanted her to birth my offspring
She wanted a knight as her husband
I wanted forever with her
She wanted that other knights forever, which is not really forever
I waited, I waited till he was gone
I planned to take his place
But her lifespan is so short
In a blink of my eyes it was gone
With nothing but root and stone that invade her grave
I wished my lifespan was as long as hers
How can I breathe without her breath in my lungs?
How can I see without her emerald eyes staring at me?
How can my heart beat without hers close to mine?
When did this happen?
When did I care about anything this much?
No poison can poison me
No fire can burn me
I don't even see how I keep living without eating, but I do
I'll never forget
Because I have forever to remember.
