Waiting Only For You

She gazed up at the fluffy white clouds that were imprinted into crystal clear skies. Taking a deep breath she ceased her walking and found a place to rest. It was by a bridge , transparent water and luscious green grass completed the scene. She took a seat and laid back, closing her dark brown eyes as her deep blue hair fanned around her. The only sounds that could be heard were the cars running along the tar roads and the birds chirping a melody soothingly, perched atop a tree branch.

She picked herself up from her resting place and continued on into the large city of Tokyo where her love awaited. The excitement overwhelmed her greatly. After being disowned and left out on her own, she was sure it was worth it. That nothing could tear them apart at all. Nothing…
