Quarian Dilemma

I want to feel free.

I want to love and touch with bare fingers,

But of my condition- I cannot.

I have found someone, but not of my kind.

Human. Human he is.

Handsome, strong, and nice. He is the one.

But what am I to do?

He's my Romeo and I his Juliet.

But I will risk my life.

Slowly, I remove my mask, revealing my face.

My skin such soft violet color and eyes like a heavenly white.

His skin so tan and eyes like an ocean blue.

His lips to mine, but why do I feel so ill? Keelah! How long has it been?! What feels like seconds has been hours-that I have had no mask on. I feel even more ill than before- I think it's time. The time I die.

So it's time to say goodbye.
