Happy new year everybody! :)


Light lies in her fingertips

He wanted nothing more
but to drown in her light
let her cleanse him
and chase the darkness away
until the only thing left
was her beauty reflected everywhere

to touch her skin
against his skin
and feel her so much
that she haunted his dreams
and became his only reality

But how could the world be so perfect?

Oh god, how he loved her!
She was like the moon
shining – for him –
where there was only darkness
a tiny, delicate light
– how he hated the sun and its pride now!
how he loved this humble light! –
and he could gaze at her
always
whenever
forever
a moon shining for him
illuminating the pale blossom

She is beautiful
like a poem
he cannot write

For how could he imagine something so perfect?
how could he write what he felt
when all he wished was
to love her
every day and night
after all, did they not deserve that?

But how could the world be so perfect?

He had fallen in love
there was no doubt
no last excuse to find
nothing to stop him from saying it
claiming it
with every little act
he had fallen in love
like never before
like it never should be allowed

He found her everywhere
she haunted everything
she inhabited every cup of tea
and every meal
she reshaped everything into poetry
and every dream

no, it should not be allowed
to love someone
so much
so so much
as if he was about
to die
every second
– oh, how she takes his breath away!
and yet wished to live
and breathe in
the same air as she did
in a never-ending kiss

But how could the world be so perfect?

At times, he found it hard to believe
that he had been so lucky
it was not a dream:
he loved her
and they belonged to each other
yes, it was hard to believe
so most of the times
he did not bother

For who would refuse to live in a blissful, eternal dream?

(Hijikata x Chizuru is one of my favourite couples in Hakuouki but apparently, I enjoy daydreaming about them more than actually writing them so here is the result of those reveries ^.^')

Thank you for reading, I hope you enjoyed it :)
