Who could it be? Is this the one I've been waiting for? Is it he who now waits outside my window? Is it he who stands in the moonlight shadows to hide his face? Who is this creature, standing on the roof of my neighbor's house? Could this be the thief that has stolen my heart?
I can see his outline.
It's just like his.
I can see his hair billowing out behind him.
It's just like his.
I can smell the rose he holds in his hands.
It's just like his.
I can hear the soft breaths he takes, as if he had just run from far away.
It's just like his.
Could this be the one who saved me so many times in which I could never repay? Could this be my lover I thought dead? Is this the one I've been dreaming about? Is he the one who said he loved me? Could it be he's been alive all this time? Is he an imposter trying to confuse my common sense?
I can sense his energy.
It's just like his.
I can feel the power coursing through his veins.
It's just like his.
I can only watch as he takes a small step towards me.
It's just like his.
I can see him jump from the roof to my window sill.
It's just like him.
Could this really be the king of thieves? Could he really be mine? Is this an imposter who's come to kill me? Is this the fox that brought me from the streets? Could this really be that silver haired demon I watched die in my arms?
He strokes my face with a gentle hand.
It's just like his.
My heart beats faster as his warm breath comes closer.
It's just like his.
His kiss so gentle as he holds me tight.
It's just like his.
I run my fingers through his long weathered hair.
It's just like his.
I have no thoughts as to who this demon is. No doubts, no regrets. He's not an imposter. He's not a mindless killer. He's my lover, my kitsune.
He's my Kurama.
