(HERRO'S POV)
It has been years since the Eve wars have ended. It has been years since I had first met you: My silent and beautiful angel with a pair of dazzling green-eyes. You are the one constant that has continuously brought showers of sparkling brightness to my life. You are the one joy that have always been there to lighten up my path of chosen destiny. Without you by my side, I would have found it extremely difficulty to continue threading on this bleak path of mine... This soul-wearying destiny of mine to be involved in countless fights that were vital for the continual protection and preservation of our extremely delicate peace.
It's amazing how you can speak right to my heart
Without saying a word, you can light up the dark
Try as I may I can never explain
What I hear when you don't say a thing
You have always chosen to walk on the silent path; the quiet walkways within the secret corridors of my heart. You have chosen to silently navigate and gently explore the dark and bleak niches within my war-torn soul. Somehow, without my awareness, you have managed to tunnel your way through the thick and icy cold mask of the Perfect Soldier, and have in utmost quietness planted your heart softly within mine. Hence, without even saying a word, you have conquered my soul.
The smile on your face lets me know that you need me
There's a truth in your eyes saying you'll never leave me
The touch of your hand says you'll catch me whenever I fall
You say it best... when you say nothing at all
I will always remember the time, when I had woken up from my month-long coma in your trailer of the travelling circus that you had hidden in. I will always savour the memory of your musical laughter during our discussion about sweet death straight after my awakening.
When I had self-detonated Wing Gundam, I had thought that that would be my very final moment in life... But, instead I discovered that I was wrong and that I had lived on because I was lucky enough to be blessed with a wonderful and beautiful wingless guardian angel. I was lucky to have met you.
With your tender care and gentle love, you had healed me, a wounded and solitary bird with a lost soul. And when I was well again, without a single word of resistant, you had willingly accompanied me on my flight to seek penance in the endless blood-red sky. And when I had finally retrieved my inner peace from this soul-cleansing journey, I knew that I was no longer alone, but now I was a bird that had been freed from my cage of guilt and was kindly gifted with a perfect mate who could fully accept this broken soul. And right then, I knew that I was no longer alone... Finally, I had a life worth living; I had a destiny worth seeking...
All day long I can hear people talking out loud
But when you hold me near, you drown out the crowd (the crowd)
Try as they may they could never define
What's been said between your heart and mine
Many a times, I have heard others commenting that we were but two inhumanly cold soldiers. And often, they would describe us as nothing but two empty shells without a heart or a soul.
And this is because they are still blinded to the fact that actions speak louder than words, for they were not as lucky as me to be blessed with a lover whose love was as true and deep as mine; they were not as lucky as me to have a lover who would freely sacrifice his life so that I would live...
The smile on your face lets me know that you need me
There's a truth in your eyes saying you'll never leave me
The touch of your hand says you'll catch me whenever I fall
You say it best... when you say nothing at all
I never really realised how much you had meant to me until that moment when I thought that I had truly lost you...
Without giving a word of explanation, you had propelled Vayate (the mobile suit that you were controlling) into my direction, and took the blast that Quatre had meant for me.
I never ever again want to experience that burst of despair and depth of resentment that I felt when I had thought I had lost you to the merciless clutches of cold death...
At that moment, I had lost all rational thoughts, and so instead of saving you as I should have done, I chose to vent out my great hatred on the one that had caused you pain.
The smile on your face lets me know that you need me
There's a truth in your eyes saying you'll never leave me
The touch of your hand says you'll catch me whenever I fall
You say it best... when you say nothing at all
And afterwards, when you were reunited with your memories and with me again, you never even once reprimanded me for taking the inappropriate actions. You never once blame me for leaving you to your death in the chilling and dark embrace of cold space...
(You say it best when you say nothing at all
You say it best when you say nothing at all...)
Yes, you have always chosen to walk on the silent path. You have always preferred to express your feelings in meaningful actions rather than redundant word. You have always utilized actions to say what your mouth never says. And so do me.
For to us soldiers, words are nothing more than tools for giving commands and instructions, it is the act itself that is of the most importance. It was our actions and not our words that had helped to create this fragile peace. Similarly, it is our actions and not our words that represent our utmost truthful heart.
The smile on your face
The truth in your eyes
The touch of your hand
Let's me know that you need me...
Whenever I was feeling at peace, you would always be by my side and gracing me with those tiny but lovely and genuine smiles of yours.
Whenever I was feeling down, you would always be there to sooth my soul with your most gentle touch.
Whenever, I was feeling frustrated with the world, you would always remain calm and be patient with me till my anger had eased somewhat, and then you would come forth and offered me your quiet support and empathetic understanding that would alleviate the inner me from the flames of raging fire.
Whenever I was feeling hopeless, you would find a way to raise my hope and spirit again.
Whenever I was feeling wild and reckless, you would tame me down with your sweet and pacifying music till I was able to think clearly again.
And whenever I was lacking in patience with someone (mainly Duo), you would quietly chide me in such a gentle and serene manner that I always ended up relenting.
So how can I not love you, my silent one?
The End.
