Sono Kanashii Kin'iro no Hitomi
(Those Sad Golden Eyes)
She stood there, staring at me, her golden eyes piercing the depths of my soul. Where our eyes met, all I saw was sadness and eternity --- things far too complex for me to comprehend. And yet, I knew she understood.
'What is it that you want?' she asked me but my voice failed me. She needed not to hear my reply for she saw right through me. She saw right through humanity. 'Happiness,' she whispered. Yet in it was an utter irony for she spoke as if she was a stranger to happiness.
'Come,' she called me. I did not resist. Nearer and nearer I approached her. I will offer her my blood. No, not for her promise of happiness. I only wanted to ease her sadness. I only wanted to ease her pain.
Gently, it sank into the curve of my neck. I did not quiver. The pain that I felt was nothing but an insignificant fraction compared to the great pain... the great sorrow that she feels. I felt dizzy and my vision started to betray me. Slowly... slowly, until the only thing I saw was the darkness in my soul.
I opened my eyes and saw my dreams unfold in front of me. Everything that I have desired... everything that I have wished for was there. And yet, I can never be truly happy. No, not when that girl still roams... not when her thirst remains unquenched... not when her own happiness, the happiness she has long sought for, remains unfound...
