What I wrote it for: Sweetie-Pai (dA's paytakprenses)'s pic (a crossover with FMA, amusingly). It screamed out at me, so I jotted down a reply. Now I've edited it. Go and look at it!

Design of life...by Taes

Patterns hiding in

my

head away from you and me while we try and see the

sight

of Leaders and men and life while it

is

as wonderfully graceful as it can be without the four of us together. You see, dear, there's nothing wonderful or terrible about you, there's nothing great but the simplicity of your grin that says you're

smiling

at me or at them in an odd kind of way, dear, an odd kind of way.

I think that you and I could become lost together, lost in each other for our differences lost

at

you with me, with us in

one

different world that screams of gold and black. The brilliance breaks me like a

breaking

star.

for you, not for me. It's wonderfully stupid, it's wonderfully not it's mine and yours and ours alone and can it really beget the silence I seek?

Technique

begs for explanation that your imagination can give, nin-jutsu lusts for simplicity in design, for what

is

known to you and me by nature of the stars. Men die. We help them.

All

you can say is everything,

all

you can do exists

for

you, not for me, and not of all those

people

who are like stars.

Like you.



End note:
...so. What do you think? Feel free to pin me with an idea. I'll be sure to think on it!
