I Hope You Know

A drabble about Dons feelings for Buck. Hopefully this drabble will burgeon into a plot bunny for a one-shot or something more if my ADD mind is capable. I own nothing and mean no disrespect.

2. I Know, I Remember, I Hope

That minuet you turned from me

That minute you turned from me.

That minute I just reached out and patted your back.

That minute I just left the letter for later.

That minute was the last time I felt any semblance of peace.

I know that now.

I know that now because you have walked back into my life.

I know that now even though calm has come back with the ending of this war, peace has not.

I know that now.

That you are back.

Now that you are whole again.

Now that your eyes are blue and clear again.

I know that now --

I can truly breath again.

I remember now what peace is.

I remember now everything I felt as I used to look into your eyes over my cup or my cards.

I remember now the smile that bloomed on my face and the hope in my heart as you would look back at me.

But I still remember what I couldn't say.

And I still remember why --

I still feel afraid to tell you.

I hope at least you know.
