Dawn At My Window



Who is this man that lies next to me? He is handsome and kind. I cannot see why he loves me though. I'm just a shadow of my princess's light. I am small and frail, not as beautiful as the others.

Not Michi with her graceful ways. Not like Mina who has so much love and cheerfulness in her. Not like Amy who is smart and sensitive. Not like Lita who is strong and courageous.

Not like Raye with her inner fire and spirit. Not like Setsuna with her eternal wisdom and ageless eyes. Not like Haruka who is fierce and fast. Not like Serena who is pure and untainted. Not like any other.

I am dark and deadly, silent and shy. I'm more like a flower that has yet to blossom in a garden full of full blooming flowers. So why, over the garden, does he choose the bud? Me? Can there be something about me that is loveable.

All my life I was ridiculed and laughed at. Even after I met Usa, I was still not liked. Ruka-papa is protective, but I can feel her watchful eyes making sure I don't mess up. I love the scouts a lot, but still they do not know me.

And then when I still looked like a child, I saw him, a man with a larger then life attitude and a jerky way of saying things that didn't want to open up to anyone. Even those who he'd known for so long did not truly see into his soul. And then I grew up, and he actually spared me a glance.

No, more then a glance. He gave me his heart. He'd already had mine since forever, but I finally had something that meant the world to me. That could not be taken away.

Now I look over at his soft face. He looks so peaceful when he sleeps. Silver locks of hair fall over his closed eyes. Green eyes that speak of love when he looks at me and hate when he looks upon his enemies.

His eyes drift open slowly and he looks up at me. Intense. His eyes are so much more then eyes. They peer at my lazily. I feel so alive when he looks at me like that. And I know I'm not alone. Never again, will I be in my silence alone.



When you look at me that way

I feel light as a feather

You leave me breathless

Warm as the summer wind

I am light

While you are dark

We are one

And walk hand in hand

Stay with me now

And forever more

I need you like

The air that I breath

I'll love you tonight

Until eternity ends

Just hold me now

And keep me warm

You are night

And I am day

Forever more

Just say you'll stay
