Once a week for years he has just come to make sure I'm in good health, and to sit and talk with me for a bit. I enjoy our conversations, sometimes not understanding what he's speaking of, but just listening to his voice flow to me. I think of him a lot and I've tried so much to show him, but he never notices, he doesn't love me.He loves another, a human, and it pains me to think about it, for since she is mortal, she will die. He's been here since before we all crashed on this miserable planet, him and his brother, his twin, both plants, both saved by the same human woman. Rem Saverem. He loves his brother, but doesn't let it show. Both have been through so much, but not together. My love, he has killed so many with out actually pulling the trigger, but still, because of him, so many had to die. Never the less, I still love him.

Many, many years have gone by.
He still visits once a week.
The woman he loved had past away quite a few years ago. They traveled through life together and were quite happy, but she grew older year by year, as he stayed the same. Never changing in appearance. They never had any children. She was only human; her mortal body wasn't strong enough to bear his child.
It hurts so much to listen to him now. He tells me all his thoughts and feelings. He still goes and sits in the bedroom she died in. He's become so emotional since her death. Sometimes, he unexpectedly starts to cry.
I would love to go to him and run my hand through his blonde hair so he would look at me with those beautiful eyes. I don't want to see him cry anymore, all I've ever wanted was his love. But that is not something I'm destined to have. Right now I think I would rather her still be alive for him, just so he would be happy. His happiness and smiles would be worth it.
But still, in my heart…
I just want him to love me….
Why won't he love me…?
I won't die, I would be with you forever, Knives…….
NOTE: - like I said – very AU – we all know Knives probably would never even entertain the thought of loving a human. But my lil monster….ahem…sorry…my lil Angel….wanted to write something tragic from the point of view of a Plant Angel.. I thought she did that quite nicely. There is a sketch I've done to go along with the story, I have it posted at www.mediaminer.org, with the story. I didn't like the sketch at first, but it's growing on me – maybe it's o.k.
See Ya!!
