"You"
Chapter 2- That's The Way It Feels
I waved my hand to your back
as you disappeared into a crowd
Until yesterday,
this all seemed so unreal...
"Everything is destiny" her voice rang in the air with so casual style that –as a matter of fact- tone.
"Not really" I replied without looked back.
True. For a moment that I think about it, the long war that we faced for quite a time ago. The endless chaos creature that haunted the peace of galaxy. Our first meeting, the gathered senshi, prophesy of the future… all that happened… It seems, unreal. Just like a summer daydream. All of that accumulated moments made what we are, right now, at this place. Living and breathing, prove that we still live and survive.
Laughing so hard that we could cry,
when we held hands and gazed into each other's eyes,
as always, (your) fragrance would (ever so faintly)
tug at my heart-strings.
"How's that?" she questioned, her brows lifted slightly, confused of my prior statement.
"Well…" I moved one hand to hers "…it's just like this" I continued, entwined my fingers to hers.
Destiny, fate… all of those great forces that lies upon our path. So complicated and full of formidable pull for everything lies upon its way. What will happen today, tomorrow and the future. Even Setsuna said that time is full of paradoxes, just like a living entity itself. Chaotic, and… unpredictable. To fight against the path of destiny, to rebel against it…
Even though we've acted selfishly,
and we've had our petty quarrels
I never knew the day would come when
we couldn't see each other.
I'm chasing after that day
when we could open up all of our feelings to one another
The wind, and the sky, still
"That's too cryptic" she picked another pocky with her other free hand.
"Hmm…" I replied absent-mindedly, gazed to her amethyst eyes.
A difficult road to walk on. Long and harsh. Bitter. Not to mention, fight against it would be… no, must be full of torment. Nevertheless, … we're here. Our very existence that stayed beyond reasonable doubts. No matter how one's looked at it. We've died once, twice, and even thrice.
The wind, and the sky, still
wrapped around just the two of us, alone together.
"That time that you were gone…" she started and stopped half way, searched for the right word.
I rested an arm above her shoulder "- and then I came back, weren't I?" I said in quite low tone, barely whispered. That event occurred years ago, but Usagi made everything just fine. Our princess…
The road to a new millennium… huh. Meetings and farewells. Beginning and ending. The long road we faced. For time is all that we have, to eternity. Even for all that, we had this very umbrella to be shared during the rain.
When I think about tomorrow
my feelings face forward just a little
Surely (we will) walk along (this small)
path, which leads us somewhere.
"In a simple way…" I moved closer to her, touching her silky black hair "…, that's it's something like this." I drawled her closer to me in one smooth, swift motion.
"Like this?" she laid comfortably against my front, her head inclined while grabbing my other hand.
A long road to face to. Every thing that happened, commotion and turbulence. Sad things. And then… in the middle of that road, there's always unexpected thing, surprisingly happened, the meeting, all poignant occurrences, the joy we shared. Happy things.
Now all my lines
about the nights when I'm alone
but want to see you
won't reach you anymore.
"Mmm.." I mumbled incoherently, feeling my lips curved up and my eyes fluttered close. I slowly inhaled the nice scent of her hair "…exactly."
She smiled back while slowly caressing my cheek -something that I had no rejection at this very moment- and moved closer… "And… this?"
And as long as we live, no matter how the shape of the road we faced upon, that is, it does not matter. For we had something to hold to. Something to remember and gripped on. There's many farewell, but one thing will always go on…
That day, we held each other
Don't ever forget that happiness
I fell so in love with you
Let's stay as we were back then
My smile widened as I caught her lips to mine.
That I have love and care from this very miko. My passionate goddess of war.
My Mars Reiko.
That day, I had a dream
I will not forget the look in your eyes
The wind, the sky, surely
will blow away all my pain.
