Mia: The one I cannot live without

I left on the journey to overcome my past
But in my travels I met new friends
Through the strife my life turned about
And my life as I once knew came to an end
My complete independence is now in the past

It was in Imil that the change began
When we scaled the house of Mercury's light
Finding failure despite doing our best
She willingly saved my life though her fate was in sight
It was then that our mutual dependence began

The battle is now a legend but many do not know
Before we left Imil, she came knocking at my inn room door
As she asked me to help her sort her emotions out
But a second later she collapsed and cried on the floor
Pain I had dealt with but her pain was one I did not know

The next two hours have become local lore
For when she told her tale of betrayal I knew she would not live if left alone
All I could do was hold her close as she cried on my vest
I listened to her story and promised her that she would never be alone
"After all" I said "that's what friends are for"

She looked at me with her teary eyes in thanks and glee
And as her crying slowed she said the words that rang loud in my ear
"I know that well Isaac because you're the man I cannot live without."
"This I know Mia," I replied "your words and heart speak clear"
This vow has joined our souls for all eternity.

As time went on closer and closer we grew
Depending on one another just the same
Yet balance formed from the daily struggles and tests
One of us would heal and the other could keep us sane
Which has evolved into a love shared by very few

Since the journey ended there is much to we have found out
And through all difficulties we have pulled through
Including Jenna's ever present jealousy and Feizhi's pouts
But nothing they do will ever change my love for Mia
For she is the one who I cannot live without

AN: Well there's my Isaac/Mia poem so I hope you enjoyed it. I know that
I stated that I would explain why Isaac did not choose Jenna, but the task
was a bit more difficult than I thought it would be. Please read and
review.
