The Way I Am
-
"Toph!" Sokka came running. Toph was sitting on a swing, pumping her legs back and forth but barely getting a few feet in the air.
"Sokka, I'm doing very important things. Go away."
"But Toph! I'll give you a push!"
"Sokka please don't! I can do it myself!"
"But that's what friends are for!"
-
If you were falling, then I would catch you.
You need a light, I'd find a match.
-
"Okay here we go!" Sokka gave Toph a push. She flew high in the air, her mouth open in a silent scream the whole way. For a moment, Toph was suspended in the air.
Then she fell off the swing.
-
Cuz I love the way you say good morning.
And you take me the way I am.
-
"Toph! Are you alright?"
"I hurt my knee." Toph was hunched over her knee, pale hands clamped over he knee. "This is your fault you big Meathead!"
"Hold on. Let me see it Toph." Sokka tried to pry her hands away but them remained secure. "C'mon Toph, don't be a baby."
-
If you are chilly, here take my sweater.
Your head is aching, I'll make it better.
-
"It doesn't look that bad…"
"It still hurts."
Sokka looked at her bleeding knee for a moment. "My mom used to do something when I got hurt."
"Yeah? What was it?"
"She kissed it better."
-
Cuz I love the way you call me baby.
And you take me the way I am.
-
"Here I'll try it, tell me if your knee feels better." He took the sleeve of his shirt, wiping the dirt and blood away.
"Okay," Toph took a deep breath, "I'm ready."
-
I'd buy you Rogaine if you start losing all your hair.
Sew on patches to all you tear.
-
Sokka kneeled down and put his lips to Toph's knee. He removed them, and a silent breeze rustled through the trees, shaking the leave from their homes.
"Did it work?"
-
Cuz I love you more than I could ever promise.
And you take me the way I am.
-
"I think so." Toph stood up, rubbing her leg. "Yeah, it feels better."
"C'mon, let's go bug Zuko."
"Thanks Sokka."
"Don't worry Toph, I'll always be here."
-
You take me the way I am.
You take me the way I am.
