Looking Back
Chapter 25: I Will Be Here
Trinity's POV
Tomorrow morning if you wake up,
And the sun does not appear.
I will be here.
***
"Neo? What are we doing?" I asked Neo as he covered my eyes with a piece of cloth, "What are we doing?" I repeated again. "Ssh. You'll see... Follow my lead." He walked slowly, and I was guided by his hand. I smiled a bit, it was really cute how he decided to surprise me. I tripped a bit, and he hurriedly helped me up and I could feel his hot breath close to my cheek, giving me a little peck there, "Are you OK?" All I could do was laugh, "Don't worry. I'll be alright."
***
If in the dark we lose sight of love,
Hold my hand and have no fear.
Cause I will be here.
***
I heard a door creak open as he asked me to stop moving for a while. I waited patiently for a few moments, before he took my hand and led me into the room. He slowly untied the cloth covering my eyes and told me to open them. As I did, they widened in complete delight and surprise, "Happy Birthday, Trin." There were candles all over the place, sparkling, glittering.... Beautiful. Tyler was there, sitting on the couch, staring at the birthday cake with a sense of longing, and I smiled softly, tears forming in my eyes.
***
I will be here, when you feel like being quiet,
When you need to speak your mind, I will listen.
And I will be here when the laughter turns to crying.
Through the winning, losing, and trying,
We'll be together... Cause I will be here.
***
I hugged Neo tightly, "Thank you so much." I thought today he was the only one who forgot, but after being so overwhelmed, I knew someone didn't just remind him to do all this. Tyler came close and tugged on my shirt, "Hi, mama, Daddy, said it was your birthday today... happy birthday." He came close and held me tightly too, and I grinned. "Sorry I didn't invite anyone else, Trin..." Neo whispered a bit, "I thought our family could just sit and talk by ourselves.... If it's OK with you." I hugged Neo even tighter, "I wouldn't want anything else."
***
Tomorrow morning if you wake up
And the future is unclear,
I will be here.
***
We all sat down at the couch and Neo and me tickled Tyler for a while. Tyler just kept on laughing and I just laughed at their enthusiasm, and I stopped for a while as Neo continued the playing. I just watched them, full of joy. I couldn't help but be thankful for everything I had. Never could I imagine ever being given such opportunities... Sometimes, it just makes you think, maybe there is a higher power helping us out there. Maybe... just maybe.
***
As sure as seasons are made for change,
Our lifetimes are made for years.
So I will be here.
***
I laughed at Neo's attempt to sing the birthday song and he pouted a bit, but I kissed him. Tyler just smiled up at us. "Trinity... it's time for you to make a wish..." I smiled, before closing my eyes and thinking, god, what did I do to deserve everything I have, everything I am? What kind of wish could I actually give? Should it be selfish? Should it be for Zion?
***
I will be here, you can cry on my shoulder.
When the mirror tells us we're older, I will hold you.
And I will be here, to watch you grow in beauty,
And tell you all the things you are to me. I will be here.
I will be true to the promise I have made.
To you and to the one who gave you to me.
***
Then I thought about Neo, and Tyler and everyone who was always there for me... Morpheus, Ghost... so many people, yet so little, and I knew the wish I was going to make. I closed my eyes even tighter and then deep within the conscious mind I had I said to myself, "I just wish I can be great enough to be able to show everyone how much they mean to me."
***
I will be here.
And just as sure as seasons are made for change,
Our lifetimes are made for years.
So I, I will be here.
We'll be together, forever
Cause I will be here
***
I blew the candles and Neo started to clap, Tyler just dipped a finger into the icing and licked it from his finger. I laughed at his crazy attempt and kissed him, tickling him as Neo joined in, and I just smiled at everything around, as if it was my first time to experience such a thing, one of the best days of my god-forsaken life, but it didn't seem that terrible anymore. Not really....
***
I will be here
