She stood on a balcony far above the bustling city, waiting for him.
Waiting and thinking.
About him.
The man who kept her safe; protected her; loved her.
Mamoru.
She often wondered what he could possibly see in her- a dumb, klutzy blonde. Why on Earth would he ever want her? She couldn't even fathom the reason.
Often she would lie in her bed late at night and as her insecurities swept over her she questioned their relationship. The same questions would repeat over and over in her mind. She loved him with her whole heart- there was no question of that- but ...did he love her? Was she mature enough for him? Would he really stay with her? She would spend the night fretting, worrying about his feelings until, in the cold light of dawn, she would huddle into herself and wait until she could run to him, throw herself at him and just feel him.
/It's amazing how you can speak right to my heart
Without saying a word you can light up the dark
Try as I may I could never explain
What I hear when you don't say a thing/
She could feel his heart beating and every bit of love that he poured into the embrace and she knew. He loved her. She looked up at him, into his eyes, and saw everything that she had needed confirmed, shining out. His smile curled his lips and he knew that she was all right.
/The smile on your face lets me know that you need me
There's a truth in your eyes sayin' you'll never leave me
The touch of your hand says you'll catch me if ever I fall
You say it best when you say nothing at all/
No words were spoken as he held her hand and walked her to school. This routine was repeated daily. She did not always need his reassurance but it still felt good to know it for sure. She knew that her fears were ridiculous but she needed his touch to reconfirm her belief when they became too much.
She needed him.
She knew that his friends questioned him about why he was going out with such a young girl. Her biggest fear was that one day he would listen to them. Her own classmates were often amazed that anyone would ever want to go out with her. She was just the stupid klutz that never got anything right. She guessed that was where a lot of her insecurities came from. Her own friends' inability to believe in her didn't exactly encourage self-confidence.
/All day long I can hear people talking out loud
But when you hold me near, you drown out the crowd
Old Mr. Webster could never define
What's being said between your heart and mine/
With him, she was fine.
As she stood waiting on his balcony for him to return she thought over her relationship. It was good. She just needed to be with him to feel complete. Without him she was insignificant.
/The smile on your face lets me know that you need me
There's a truth in your eyes sayin' you'll never leave me
The touch of your hand says you'll catch me if ever I fall
You say it best when you say nothing at all/
She heard the door open behind her. He was home. No words were necessary. He knew exactly where she was. Where she always was. What she was always thinking.
He knew that she was scared. He was too. He walked up behind her and wrapped her arms around her.
She knew he was smiling. He always did. She was safe.
/The smile on your face lets me know that you need me
There's a truth in your eyes sayin' you'll never leave me
The touch of your hand says you'll catch me if ever I fall
You say it best when you say nothing at all/
She knew that her fears were silly but she also knew that he had them too. They simply needed each other to feel right. Simple as that. He needed her, she needed him.
Please enjoy!
