Brave Enough

"In past, present, and future, I love you."/She loved a boy doomed to die. He loved a girl for whom he should have never fallen. She could heal him. He could strengthen her. They could be each other's anchor in their seas of tears, lies, and death. But a wall keeps separating them, and, slowly, they are losing each other in the wide sea of their hearts.

Track 11:

First Light

(Elizabeth and Ciel)

"Mediation, dreaming, prayer, visualization – whatever your technique, begin each day by creating your own destiny."

I woke up to the world shining.

For a month, I had fallen into slumber. For a month, I had wandered on roads of darkness. For a month, it had been night.

And, slowly, slowly, I had felt my soul leaving my body.

Slowly, slowly, falling into coldness.

Into shadows tugging at my joy. My smile. My love.

And wicked thorns reached out to my heart.

And I had closed my eyes.

But now, I had woken up again. Woken to a world of colours. Of wind. Of warmth.

But now, I was holding his hand, was seeing his face – and the endless blue sky in his eyes.

He had caught me, saved me from the blackness I had fallen into. From the misery I had lost myself into.

I had woken up to the first light in a month.

Ciel was back home. And a new day had begun.

I woke up and you were there. Sleeping at the end of my bed like an angel.

No one else had stayed, everyone else had long gone but you had stayed. Had stayed for me.

And you must be cold for you had stayed a night with no blanket covering you.

But I could not get up, was still too weak, still too sick. And all I could do was to watch you sleep, was to wait for you to wake.

The sun was shining through my bedroom windows but I only had eyes for you.

You who were still here with me.

You the first light of this day and all the others to come.

And I wished we could spend every hand in hand.

This was actually the first fragment I had written for this collection :)
