A/N: I can't believe that y'all dissed Rosto. Only two people voted for him, out of the whole lot of you. Writing this one about made my head explode. I never really liked this song, but now, I can honestly say I can't stand it. So, no more requests. End of story. I'm sorry to have to say that, but I can't handle the requests and my inspiration for songfics is slowing down. I have no intention of ending Hero's Song, but I probably won't update it as much as I used to, as I'm trying to focus on Piper's Rain and a few other things...

Thoughts of you and how you changed me
Fill my mind
Without you where would I be
So even as I try to express my thanks
It never comes out how I hope
I want to say so much more so with these simple words
I'll try

Veralidaine Sarrasri sat by the window overlooking the stretch of land outside of Numair's tower, as she often did when he was away. Sometimes, she honestly wondered how she'd managed to live without Numair. When they had met, she had been a slightly awkward teenage girl who had been ousted from her village and couldn't control her magic. He had changed that.

I love you
My heart is yours, only yours
I long to give you all of me
My everything, my everything
I never could repay you
You gave everything
Without you where would I be

It was almost odd to think about – how Numair had unintentionally won her heart. She loved him, but she also owed him a great debt. He had saved her from her own wild magic, from herself. If it wasn't for him, she would have lost herself to it long ago. She couldn't repay him for that, but she could at least try.

You still loved me even when I
Pushed you away
You stood there and waited
Till the day I'd return

At first, she hadn't really noticed that she had lost her heart to the master mage, and that, unconsciously, she had pushed it away, using excuse after excuse after excuse. Even so, he had been there all along, waiting for her to reciprocate his feelings. He waited, though he had once pushed it away, too, using similar excuses to hers. But he had still been there. He was always there when she needed him…

So even as I try to express my thanks
It never comes out how I hope
I want to say so much more so with these simple words
I'll try

No matter how much Daine thought about it, there wasn't any way she could think of to let him know how thankful she was for all that he had done for her. No, there was a way. Three words and one answer…

I love you
My heart is yours, only yours
I long to give you all of me
My everything, my everything

Just as she was thinking that, the door to the room opened, revealing a dust-covered Numair Salmalín. Daine practically shrieked with glee. They both moved forward and embraced in the center of the room. She didn't even notice the dust. "I love you, Numair. My answer is yes…"

A/N: Review, please! Lioness loves reviews!
