Author's Note: Wow. This is the last of my 20 themes. I can't believe I've actually finished. But I'll be all nostalgic later. This is just a little blurb-let (don't know where that name came from) to kind of end my collection. Enjoy.
How can you tell when you're in love? Can you tell when butterflies violently invade your stomach? Can you tell from the cherry red blush that stains your cheeks? Or is it more than that? Is it large declarations that express love, or can it be found in the appreciation for the little things in life? Do a statement and a ring match up with a morning spent watching the sun rise? Are extravagant gifts and praise as important as spending a night chasing fireflies? Which truly shows love? I think I may know the answer.
The ring you gave me is something I cherish, for it reminds me of you. I remember all the declarations of affection over the years. But what I remember even more clearly are the little things. Skipping a day of work to go swimming. Laughing hysterically under the stars. The sound of your heartbeat besides mine. The night of the island.
I wear your ring just as you wear the pendant I gave you long ago. But they aren't our love, just reminders of all the little things that are part of this whirlwind called love that we're caught up in.
I'm done, at long last. I'm not quite sure when I started, but its only been like a month and a half to two months. And now I've finished all 20 themes.
I really, truly hope that you've enjoyed these. Some have been good, some have been bad, but all have tried to uphold some aspect of the AthrunxCagalli relationship, whether its the good or the bad.
I'd like to thank all my reviewers for being faithful. You guys really helped me to keep going when I felt like procrastinating. So thank you very much!
So thats the end of this. If you like the pairing DearkaxYzak, they're my next 20 themes challenge, so I'll hopefully be posting a collection for them sometime in the near future. Until later!
