A is for Angel

She's an angel of mercy. When I was at my lowest she came crashing into my life and lit it up.

I can never thank her or repay her for the happiness and love she inspires in me. She's the sunshine on a cloudy day. I want to be a better person and protect her. And she makes me laugh.

I find myself rushing headlong into danger after her. If she were to be lost to me too..

It would be more than I could bare.

My heart is already so broken after losing Gene. I can't ever tell her.

I love her.

She is my own personal angel.

One day my purpose for being here in Japan will come to an end and I'll ha ve to leave her.

I try not to think about that.

Till then I'll enjoy her smiles, and clumsiness. I'll warm myself by her and not feel so alone. Because Mai is the name that has become branded on my heart.

She's my angel. I love her. I'll protect her for as long as I can. I don't think I'll ever be able to smell the scent of lilac and not think of her. I can close my eyes and still smell the soft notes of her perfume lingering in my office from the last time I called for her.

As my fingers brush my cup I realize it's cold and I can't help but smile. It's all the reason I need to have her close to me again.

"Mai, hot tea!" I can hear her yelling from outside my door and it brings a smile to my lips. The lips that burn to kiss her. When I hear her crashing things around in the kitchen and Lin calling for the first aid kit I have to laugh to myself.

She's my own personal angel. With the crooked halo and bruised wings. I can hear her calling me a jerk. Again.

I wouldn't have her any other way.
