No Longer Alone
Warm rays of the sun make their way through the leafs of the big tree, drawing circles in the light shadow below it. They tease my skin in a way which makes me smile. The scent of the blooming flowers does its part to make me feel just so wonderful. Even more when I feel your hand softly caressing my face, brushing aside a strain of my hair in process. In response I move even closer to you, leaning my head onto your chest. Like always, your heartbeat is steady and calm. The last addition to make this relaxing moment perfect for me. A moment which will be treasured deep inside of me, forever. I enjoy these times more than anything else in this world. Who would have thought that there would be something which meant more to me than my own life? Only a few months have passed since I met you but this time seems endless to me. I might have just seen you as an alley at first, the one who would rescue our world from the new threat rising but I knew that I had loved you from the start. The guy who managed to turn my life inside out. The guy who let me discover feelings of which I had never known that they existed.
As I was growing up, I thought
There surely are things that'll backfire on me but
I want to live on more tomorrow than I'm doing today
I wonder what people's desires are
We can't understand each other just from words so we get hurt and cry
The more you struggle, the more you'll wander alone
The Heaven Arena was the place where we first met, shortly before our fight. Both of us were walking through the crowd, heading into opposite directions, not caring about our surroundings. Until the moment we crossed the same line. Our hearts and auras overlapped causing a strange sensation which was too strong to be ignored. I turned around rapidly, meeting up with the gaze of your ocean blue eyes. In the middle of the busy entrance area both of us stood there like rocks in the wild ocean. Connected by this one feeling we kept our eyes on each other, not wanting to break the magic contact. Despite all the people walking by I could see you clearly. Your purple hair and blue shirt which moved with the light wind. I felt like I was drowning in the depths of your eyes, sinking into a world unlike the one I knew. Unknown desires were raised inside of me, feelings which made me blush faintly. But before I could find out what was going on inside of me, someone called my name, breaking the magic between us. I gave you a last look, full of sadness and then I walked away. Leaving with the promise to see you again, as soon as possible.
I'm no longer alone, I'm being changed by my dreams
Even the opposing winds are flying and laughing
Let's become one
Until the moment comes, it will the proof for my courage
In this world which is constantly changing
The circumstances under which we met again were not as surprising to me as they should have been. Somehow I had known that you were the guy I had been searching for and thus fighting against you was a part of my duty. I could easily keep pace of you during the first minutes, blocking all of your attack with success until you transformed into a Super Saiyajin. The immense increase of your power was too much for me to deal with. A single punch of yours sent me from the platform, straight into the next wall. I can still recall your worried face, your scared voice asking me as if I was alright. And the surprise when you noticed that nothing had happened to me. I guess it was the mixture between a perfect warrior and a nice guy which awoken my interest in you. This special feeling which had been created on our very first meeting had bond us together, by soul and heart. And by destiny. Both of us knew perfectly about that but our pride blocked us, not allowing us to show our feelings openly. During the journey ahead of us, a deadly one maybe, the heart had no place. The few moments which we could share alone, in which we could actually show what we felt for each other, were just too rare. But with the weeks passing, we grew closer and our feelings could no longer be fully surpressed. They came to the surface, opening the gate to new dimensions in our relationship.
It seems there's nothing at all inside reality but
Laughing with you, crying with you, I become myself again
Before I became strong, I kept rejecting encouragement
You watched over me so I could move on
I can see your goal and it's getting crowded
One heart can be stronger than all strength in the world. If it hadn't been for you I would have never believed it myself. During the last fight you had lost all of your courage and belief, you had even given up your will to live after you were deadly injured. The situation might have been hopeless but I wasn't ready to give up already. With my own powers I healed you, trying to give back your confidence in process and erasing all dark thoughts. But I couldn't seem to help you either. There was only one thing left for me to do. To take the attack which had been aimed at you, an attack which you didn't see coming. I didn't hestitate for a second, I was ready to sacrifice my life for the one of yours. My love for you was stronger than any fear. But nothing could prepare me for the pain I felt in the moment the attack hit me. I can still hear myself screaming before I fell towards the ground. The last thing I can remember is the feeling of landing in your arms and then the darkness caught me. This action of mine made you leave your state of doubts. You gained all the strength needed to defeat the enemy which threatened our world. Just because of the love you felt for me. Our hearts had been victorious as well.
I'm no longer alone, I can have more freedom
I can throw away things like pride and doubts
Having the pleasure of someone by my side
I can finally understand that must believe in people
Because I met you
One day in the hospital had been enough to come to terms with my feelings. I was ready to admit you what I feel but first I wanted to gain back my independence. Despite all the bandages and pain I tried to climb out of the bed and just then you entered the room. Your look was all I needed to know what you thought. My stubborness was something you adored just as much as you hated it. And in this very moment you would have been glad if I wasn't so careless about my own health. All serious words from your side didn't change my mind at all and so the fight began. Fights we got involved in so easily once our opinions weren't the same but something would miss if we would ever stop. But for once it ended in an unexpected way. As I was blocking all of your efforts to prevent me from leaving the bed you had caught my wrists and kept me down. And so you were nearly laying over me, our faces so close that I could feel your breath. Looking into your eyes I had to think back to our first meeting. The sensation was exactly the same, so wonderful. Our lips touched and I melt like ice into your embrace, drunken by the sweetness of that kiss, its love and passion. My heart would be forever yours.
I'm no longer alone, I'm being changed by my dreams
Even the opposing winds are flying and laughing
Let's become one
Until the moment comes, it will the proof for my courage
In this world which is constantly changing
All these memories are locked back in their special place within my heart. Nothing else can describe just how I changed the past months, only because of you. Love is the most wonderful thing on earth. Feeling your lips touching my hair I look up only to see you smiling. I frown lightly, wondering what happened to cause such a happy smile of yours.
"Trunks?"
"Hai?"
"What is it that you're smiling like this? Did I miss something?"
"Not really, Cherry, I was just recalling some memories."
I cannot hide the confusion I feel and it you have to smile even more. You once said that it's one of these expressions which makes me even more beautiful as I already are. An opinion I'll probably never share with you. Nevertheless I trust in your opinions, my fiancé. Your hand caresses my face gently before lifting it my chin up to your level, our lips nearly touching.
"Dan dan kokoro hikareteku ..... aishiteru."
And this kiss holds everything we feel for each other. Love, passion, desire, happiness. It's a promise of yours that this special bond between us will never be broken, that we'll never be apart.
"Hitori janai kimi ni deatte .... aishiteru."
I know that I'll never be alone again. The missing part of my soul, I finally found it. You will always be by my side.
