You'd never know true unconditional love until it slaps you in the face the way mine did. It had nothing to do with curling up with the love of your life or kissing your lover every hour of the day so they know you love them. But surprisingly it has more to do with watching someone you love unconditionally fall madly and perfectly in love with someone else who will care for them as if their very life depended on it.
It was a quiet, almost peaceful night at the end of the summer on the brink of fall, the air was crisp and fresh. As I sat in the quiet darkness staring at the fading stars it all stabbed me so cleanly in the chest like a razor sharp arrow. There was no moon in sight and I was glad there wasn't so my silent tears of joy could not be seen. Hinata had finally found him, the one person she needed, wanted, and loved to be around. She never had much of a fighting chance when it came to love but this one time it was handed to her and of course just like the rest of her life, it wouldn't be easy, but at least now it was something to fight for. My beautiful best friend, the one that was once such a gorgeous broken angel had finally gotten some wind beneath her wings. Gravity no longer pulled her towards the depths of hell, she was no longer alone and I was completely content. Shit was finally falling into place and through everything she's been through she still has yet to give up and I admire that so much. I'm not sure if she sees how happy I truly am for her but I hope for once, just once in the not too distant future I can see my best friend with a real smile on her face as she walks through a small courtroom clad in white. Please let this Broken Angel rise to fly once more, never a complete angel but at least a resurrected but tarnished one. I love her more than anything in this world and I want her to stay with him, and happy just the way she is.
