My Tenchi

By Kitten

~~~

The first time I ever saw your face

I felt my heart would fly

And as I gazed into your eyes

I saw love, compassion, and trust

I saw… My Tenchi

And when I heard your voice

For the very first time

It sent shivers up my spine

And when you touched me

My cheeks became flushed,

Full of color and innocence

When you held your hand out to me

And I so graciously accepted it

I smiled and thought of this new feeling to me

Never in my life have I experienced this feeling

That makes me feel the way you do

… My Tenchi

And your eyes, … oh your eyes

I could get lost in those bright brown eyes forever

You see, My Tenchi…

Ev'ry morning I awaken,

Just gazing at your lovely features

Makes me feel at home

The way the sunlight dances on your skin while you're asleep

And at night, the way the moonlight and stars

Reflect in your eyes

Oh, how I love the stars

Just looking up to the starry sky reminds me of you

No one has ever made me feel

The way you do, My Tenchi

And for anyone to ever take you from my life

I know it would end, My life source

Would be gone

I still don't know of your feelings for me

But I do know of mine,

As true as birds fly

Maybe someday you'll take me in your arms and whisper,

"I love you, My Ryoko."

Will I ever feel your lips against mine?

And your warm and gentle body so close to my heart?

For now I can only dream

But I do know this,

"I love you, My Tenchi."
