Looking Back

Chapter 15: I Turn to You

Neo's POV

When I'm lost in the rain,

In your eyes I know I'll find the light to light my way.

And when I'm scared and losing ground

When my world is going crazy, you can turn it all around.

And when I'm down you're there, pushing me to the top.

You're always there; giving me all you've got.

***

"I'm ready." A voice called out softly. I turned around to see Trinity, standing with her bag swung around her back, staring at me with hopeful eyes. I looked down, closing my eyes for a while before raising my head to meet those beautiful blue pools of majesty. "There's something you need to understand. I know I'm supposed to go. But beyond that, I don't know..." I sighed, feeling the exhaustion of everything I've been to sink in. She looked at me with the most earnest eyes and sighed as well, "I know. You don't think you're coming back. I knew it the moment you said you had to leave. I could see it in your face. Just like the moment you looked at me that I was coming with you."

***

For a shield from the storm;

For a friend; for a love

To keep me safe and warm,

I turn to you.

For the strength to be strong;

For the will to carry on;

For everything you do,

For everything that's true,

I turn to you.

***

I looked at her, trying to search her face for any sign of what I was about to admit, but nothing. "I'm scared, Trin." I said softly. Trinity was silent for a while, before she slowly inched closer, looking at me straight in the eye, "So am I. It took me ten minutes to buckle up one boot. But, I'll tell you something."-She looked down for a few moments, and then looked up again, "Six hours ago, I told the Merovingian I was ready to give anything and everything for you. Do you know what's changed in the last six hours?" I shook my head slowly, not breaking the eye contact, "No." She searched me for some reason to not say what she wanted to, but she gave me a sincere look before saying with a voice full of courage, yet of heart full of gentle love and passion, "Nothing."

***

When I lose my will to win,

I just reach for you and I can reach the sky again.

I can do anything,

'Cause your love is so amazing; 'cause your love inspires me

And when I need a friend, you're always on my side;

Giving me faith that gets me through the night.

***

We met in a kiss and hugged tightly for a while, before she led me into our room and we made love slowly. Each rock of our hips was in sync with the tender yet passionate power of love, melting us into one for a few moments, pushing us over the edge, exhausting us afterwards. I rolled to rest beside her when we both caught our breath, bringing her with me, holding her tight. "I love you..." I sighed softly, looking at her as if she was the only thing I needed. She just stared at me, with blank expression, before smiling softly, holding me tighter.

***

For a shield from the storm;

For a friend; for a love

To keep me safe and warm,

I turn to you.

For the strength to be strong;

For the will to carry on;

For everything you do

For everything that's true,

I turn to you.

***

All I could think about was my need for her, my dependence on her, for everything. When I felt tired, she was always there to help me relax. She was there when I needed a shoulder to lean on, when I needed comfort. In some arguments, she even just kept quiet and listened to me patiently, and she was the one who said sorry in some of those, even though I knew it was my fault, even though I knew her excuse was that I was in a bad mood, or that I was grumpy, even though I knew that she wouldn't do that for anyone else. I wanted to thank her for all that. For some reason, I couldn't come up with anything to say. My head was blank when it came to those terms, as if it really just wasn't made for people like, so instead, I pulled her in for a warm kiss.

***

For the arms to be my shelter through all the rain;

For truth that will never change;

For someone to lean on;

For a heart I can rely on through anything;

For that one who I can run to....

I turn to you.

***

I could feel her tense up from the surprise, but she got the hint. I sucked on her upper lip, gently nibbling it, as she did the same with my lower one. I knew right then, she was my inspiration for everything I did, everything I was going to do, and everything I knew. I knew I would never forget her for all that, and I made sure I could tell her all that in that kiss. She gasped softly, and I took opportunity to touch her tongue with mine, as they joined in a wild dance, full of beauty, full of passion, full of love...

***

For a shield from the storm;

For a friend; for a love

To keep me safe and warm,

I turn to you.

For the strength to be strong;

For the will to carry on;

For everything you do

For everything that's true,

I turn to you.

For a shield from the storm;

For a friend; for a love

To keep me safe and warm,

I turn to you.

For the strength to be strong;

For the will to carry on;

For everything you do

For everything that's true,

I turn to you.

***

I ended the kiss and she stared at me, "That was... wow." I smiled at her comment. "Thank you." I said finally, holding her tight. "For what?" I wiped away a stray strand of her hair and tucked it behind her ear, "For everything." I whispered, just as someone knocked on the door.

***

For everything you do

For everything that's true,

I turn to you.
