*~*~*~*
.... It has been two years since I left my journey.
Thanks to you.
I have never been this peaceful before; you're the only one who gave me this chance to be happy once more.
I am grateful for this wonderful moment.
With you in my life, I began to see my old self again.
With you beside me, time stood on a standstill.
Love has once again come knocking on the door, but this time I will no longer close the gates of my heart
For the one I truly love.
I'll willingly open it for you, for you have given me a brand new start.
Although I never said to you my feelings deep within,
Although I rarely show you how much I care,
Please bear in mind that inside, it's really there.
I never meant to hide it, especially from you, but I can't tell you...I just couldn't.
I fear that one day, when it is revealed that I have feelings for you, they might use you,
And I don't want to make the same mistake twice.
I know I've been in love before, and I know you're not the first one.
But the love I feel for you is much more different;
It is an indescribable feeling held within me.
It is strong and powerful,
And beyond words I could ever describe.
The feelings...it is the feeling of safety I have with you.
Whenever you're near, I feel secure.
It is not like; it's not even lust.
It bears more than infatuation but passion.
It is not obsession, nor fascination.
It is a sense of being; MY sense of being. I cannot fully understand it; words are not enough to describe the feelings you gave me.
I always regret the time when I fully became an assassin, a killer, and a murderer.
But then, I always remember that things that happen all have reasons behind them.
I fully realize that my destiny as a killer wasn't really as bad as it may seem, for if I never became
The assassin, I never would have met Tomoe, never have been a wanderer, and I never would have…
Met you....
With these thoughts on my mind, I see the full realization was right before my eyes. Although it was
A long hard journey, I succeeded, and here I am, peaceful once more, in a dojo with you.
I am happy with my life, and I am ready to fight once more, not for the smell of blood, but to
Defend those people whom I love.
It may be obscure, but I know it and I've already decided.
I will use my power not as the legendary assassin, but as the ordinary man who fights for the ones he love.
But without your love, care and support, I never might have hid my fears, or conquered all my regrets.
Without you, I am not strong enough to withstand the pains of the present.
You are my source of power.
You are my everything, for with you, I am whole again.
You gave me a whole new world to live in.
You gave me a different perspective in things.
You gave me a new beginning I thought I would never have.
With all these things, I thank you so much-for breathing new life into me, for taking care of me,
And especially for loving me for who I really am.
...This I thank you...
