Okay, this is sort of a free verse poem describing the whole manga from Ranma
point of view. So enjoy. You can find my other Ranma 1/2 fanfics at

Always and Forever
by: CSMars
2/4/2001

For the longest time,
I hid myself,
In a world I was all alone.

But when I met you,
That single smile,
The walls I built came crashing down.

You asked for friendship,
I gladly complied,
But deep down I know I wanted more.

Then my problems,
That stupid curse,
Came between and tore us away from one another.

All my friends,
Think you're pretty,
I secretly agree, but I can't say.

'Cause you deserve a man,
Honorable and sweet,
Not one with problems like mine.

All those boys,
Princes and demons,
Wanted you for themselves.

Because of you fiery spirit,
And your kind self,
So fascinating that captured all their hearts.

I didn't want to,
Fall in love,
Cos I know you don't feel the same.

I can save the world,
But not myself,
The more I struggled, the harder I fell.

Your voice, your motions,
That single smile,
And so many other reasons of why I love you.

On the Phoenix Mountain,
I thought I lost you,
And I know that I also lost myself.

But you didn't die,
And I was revived,
Looking forward to another day with you by my side.

I bottled up my emotions,
Hiding them once again,
Knowing that's the reason for you anger, or was it regret?

You came to me one night,
"Just to talk" you said,
And them whispered the words "I love you."

Those three little words,
Falling from your lips,
Filled me with such happiness that I thought I had died.

"I love you, too"
I whispered back,
And you walk over for one sweet kiss.

That night we slept,
With a smile on our face,
Dreaming of each other and the future never looked so bright.

But all my fiancées,
And all you suitors,
Went on a rampage to hurt you or me.

But you and I,
We both know,
That love will find a way 'cause it's the greatest power of them all.

"I love you, Saotome Ranma. I have loved you upon our first meeting
and I will always love you. Until the mountains have no more trees, until
the ocean has no more waves. I will love you until the end of the world." The
young woman whispered to the man.
"I love you, Tendo Akane. I fell in love with you with the first look
and I will always love you. Until the earth has stopped turning, until the
stars have stopped shining. My love for you will never end." The man with a
black pigtail said to the woman in front of him.
"Love brought together by fate and inseparable by death." The wind
seem to say.
"Always and forever..." The two vowed.

Well, what do you think? The paragraphs in the end are suppose to be
wedding vows since I hate the traditional western wedding vow, so I made up
my own. Email me at Cosmos_sailor_mars@hotmail.com and please visit my website.
