Summary:
All that he wants.
He is sleeping again.
He knows this because she is smiling at him. He watches himself, grinning back at her as if he has never known heartache. He looks a fool but does not care; for once he feels light hearted.
Her shinidamachuu aren't here this time.
She stands alone in the clearing, the darkness like a veil to her pale skin. When she speaks, the words are striking in the silence, directing his gaze to her budding lips, "I am the sound of love's arriving."
He moves to her, drawn by her voice. His eyes search her body in growing need. She is stunning. "Lay your head upon my shoulder, lay your hand upon my hand," his words are passionate, pleading.
She speaks the words he longs to hear, and his heart beats at her command. "I'll give you all that I am."
He is hers; he can feel her hold on him. He is bound like a beautiful prey in her spell. "I breathe where you breathe. Let me stay where you stand. I love you with all that I am."
She smiles and tilts her head. She allows him to embrace her, his body bumping roughly against hers as if he has no choice but to be pulled to her, to connect with her. He wants nothing else. And his lips touch her delicate neck.
He whispers against her skin, "I would give my life to save you."
And she replies, "I'll show you all that I am."
When he wakes he is entangled in another's arms. Her hair is soft against his skin, and he cuddles her closer. He feels guilty in his silent betrayal against this love.
But every day that he is alive he misses her.
