different kind of love

by kye

people say love like it's a dirty word.

like all we are is lovers, in the most sinful way.

like there's only one way to put us together.

but i don't listen.

no, i don't believe it.

i can love, you can love.

and we do.

i do.

doesn't mean we survive on tender kisses.

there's a love beyond that.

it really is forever, it doesn't depend on a body.

the love of brothers, soulmates, through so much,

so much that their hearts can never be torn apart.

empathy sympathy experience together.

pain brings people together.

so who could be closer than us?

no one knows us.

they say they know what we are.

they say they know what we do.

but they can't see that all we are is people,

just people inside, 'just like them' people.

they're wrong about us.

except when they're right.

they say we love, and that's true,

truer than for anyone else in the world.

they just don't know how we love.

romance is beautiful, romance is wondrous.

but it can never outlast us.

it can never be akin to us.

it can never be as strong as us,

in heart or in body.

it can never triumph

never be like what we have.

never be like the love we have.

never be the friendship that frees you forever.

an amorous heart is chained

as ours are by war.

a fellowship as we may be

can only let us fly.

we can love, we do love, i am loving,

deeply and gently,

but not how they think.

we love in the greatest way of all.

a/n: this is supposed to be duo narrating about himself and heero. [sorry if it's anticlimactic] i decided that there aren't enough povs where 1 and 2 are close to one another without yaoi. not anti-yaoi-- although it is strange when a straight fic is the un-norm. that is, when the characters aren't shout-out-loud gay in the series. anyway, tell me if i should give up on freeform before i make a total fool of myself. arigatou! 6.~
