***Disclaimer*** Sephiroth is not mine! I want him.. But he's not mine!
Of course, if he were mine I'd lock him up in my closet and make him eat
Lucky Charms (~~also not mine) while I make his choir sing show tunes!
Okay, I'm done. I promise.
Goodbye, My Love
We stood underneath the stars that night, where we first met. They glowed brightly, yet flickered, like the flame of a candle as someone passed. Black leather groaning from the movement, yet regardless of how tightly you held me, I yearned for more. Long gentle fingers of a breeze ran through your hair, that long silver mane of yours, and you didn't stir. For a moment, I wondered what was on your mind.
Stay with me...
My love, how desperately I wanted to... but I was unsure of your heart. With your heart absent from the picture you were already as unpredictable as the wind around us. But oh how I loved you.
And still do.
My mind grasped my heart, wrenching words I was terribly reluctant to say...
"Tell me you love me..."
I could feel your body tense. Arms unraveled, you pushed me to arms length, and stared at me with confused, frightened and innocent eyes. Eyes the color of emeralds, forest green when angry.
Like watching a precious glass shatter as time slowed, I could feel my heart, aching inside my chest.
Why had I asked you this? Wasn't I thankful enough that I had you? That you undoubtedly needed me?
Silence. A deadly, yet strangely comfortable silence that made me understand you would never admit the love you had for me. I didn't understand.
Why can't you understand I would give everything away to be by your side forever? Why was I so afraid of leaving with you without knowing how you truly felt?
You fought for words, but none reached your lips. A fruitless effort.
Summoning my courage, I took an uneasy step back from your reach, still gazing into your eyes. For a moment, they were as clear as island waters, and I could read your regret. It washed over you like raging waters freed from a dam.
But I didn't care. My heart ached too much. The nights we laughed together, the mornings I awoke in your arms, the words you whispered... a solemn swear to protect me... it matter not, now. Not at all...
I turned from you, forcing myself to walk away into the darkness of the surrounding forest, praying you would follow, yet stay. As I walked away, I left my shattered heart with you.
I left you knowing you would never love again because my ghost, you'd never let go. I love you came too late, my heart was too broken to heal...
My protector, my soul. I love you, my dear Sephiroth. Goodbye, my love.
