A Love Forgotten

I wish that I could be close to you
I say those words nearly every day
But you'll never hear them
You're far too distant to see me

You imprison yourself in solitude
And keep your heart forever frozen
I wish that I could melt the ice
Instead of containing my love's burning flame

I've told my self over and over again
That destiny could never allow our love
I'm a victim of circumstance
A slave to my fate

You cannot even remember my face
Though you once fought at my side
I admired your courage and your strength
And could relate to the emptiness of your solitude

Eventually I felt the warmest of emotions
And loved you more strongly with each passing day
My teammates disapproved
But somehow it didn't matter

I didn't want the battle to end
As cruel as that sounds
I want to stay at your side forever
Though I knew one day I'd have to leave

Our time long since ended
And we will be forever apart
I pine away for you
While you've forgotten of my existence

Neptune and Uranus said it was for the best
And your friends agreed
That because of who I am
You needed to forget your feelings for me

I know it was there
I could see it in your eyes
I wanted them to reconsider
I should have begged them to do so

Before the deed was done
I kissed you goodbye
Knowing you wouldn't remember
The tears that I cried

Now tears of regret
Stream down my face
Destiny is a cruel mistress
And I am her slave

I am duty-bound to guard these gates
Lest time itself fall into chaos
But I would sacrifice it willingly
Because some things are more valuable than time itself

Love is a timeless treasure
That never fades
I watch you from afar
And wish I could hold you once more

Lacuna Lily: Let me explain the situation. Sailor Pluto has returned to her post as the guardian of time after a battle that the Outer Senshi fought along with the Z Fighters. Pluto and Piccolo became training partners and had fallen in love (I know, Piccolo in love is very hard for anyone to imagine). Once the enemy was defeated the Outer Senshi used the power of their talismans to erase Piccolo's memories of ever meeting Trista to begin with. Strange situation, I know, but it just kinda came into my mind in my state of boredom. I like a Piccolo/Trista pairing though and might eventually expand off this poem into a multi-chapter fic. What do you think of the idea of both Trista/Piccolo and expanding into a

fic? Please let me know!
