THE SORROWS OF YOUR CHANGING FACE

CHRONICLE ONE: BULMA

When I first met you

I thought you were an arrogant, selfish beast

But we were all only skimming your surface.

Then I started to enjoy our heated arguments

And the abuse we hurled at each other

And then, when that grew tiring, I really got to know you

And I saw the change in your eyes.

I saw a glimmer of pain beneath the anger

When you spoke of 'Kakarot' and your fallen people

When you looked up to the stars

Knowing the light of your planet would never reach this one

And losing hope when you saw that no-one understood.

The changes you went through

As those months passed by

And the threat of the Androids edged closer to our doorstep

I remember the confusion in your eyes

And your battle over whether to feel hatred or love every time you saw me.

You were learning how to feel

How to feel anything other than hate and pride

And it scared you.

You thought yourself weak for feeling this strange emotion

The one you had never felt

And never dreamed of feeling

But you felt it anyway.

The riddles that you spoke to me

The riddles you still speak

The riddles I will never truly solve

I love you for them

And I cry inside

Every time I remember you

And the sorrows of your changing face.
