My beautiful green girl

She hates it when people reduce her to the color of her skin. Her green skin.

She thinks she is a freak. Mother natures sick joke. A punishment for her mothers sins.

But not for me. I love the woman behind the green skin.

I don't care that she is green.

She is MY beautiful girl.

Glinda had told me the way Elphaba acted at her first day at Shiz. She had told me what Elphaba had said. No, I'm not seasick, yes, I've always been green, no, I didn't chew grass as a child.

I admire her for her strength, her beauty, her brilliance.

I am not shallow. Not anymore. Yes, I use to have no care in the world. But now I am changed. Life isn't a play. Not for me.

I want a woman who completes me. One who is brain and beauty. The Vinkus needs a Queen who makes them proud. Sure, Glinda and I became engaged. But my heart wasn't in it. I care for Glinda. But I could never envision a happily-ever-after with Glinda as my wife. Not after I fell in love.

After the incident, after Dr. Dillamont had been arrested, things had changed. For all of us.

I became more thoughtful.

Sometimes I have asked myself: what would Elphaba do.

She became a kind of role model. Her beliefs became my beliefs. After all the Wizard was a cruel dictator. Not powerful. Just someone who enslaved Animals. Someone who brainwashed people.

I have made the right decision for once. Following my heart.

And now that I have her in my arms, if only for tonight. I know that she is the one.

My beauty, my Queen.

Even if we have to part tomorrow, I will cherish this memory. Forever.

Exhausted she had allowed herself to sleep, a luxury for a fugitive.

But tonight I will watch over her, guard her sleep.

I want, no, I need Elphaba in my life. Forever.

My beautiful green girl.

End.
