It was about time that we all wore the same color, as the safe places to hide grew smaller; our odd assortment of colorful clothing began to stand out even more. So it was suggested that we all wear Earth Kingdom green or brown seeing as how it stood out the least. She was of course beautiful in whatever she wore, while I with a scar that covered one half of my face stood out like a sore thumb.
She was the best thing in my life, she just laughs when I tell her this, but it's true. When I was younger I went through hell and back. Now with her though, I am soothed and it feels more like I'm in heaven now. People say that we are opposites and that we shouldn't be together. Sometimes I'm inclined to believe them, but not for the reasons that they do. In truth I don't deserve someone like her.
'We should get jerseys cause we make a great team
But yours would look better than mine, cause you're outta my league
And I know that it's so cliché to tell you that everyday,
I spend with you is the new best day of my life
Everyone watching us just turns away with disgust
It's jealously; they can see that we've got it going on'
Everyday I try to tell her that I love her, but everyday I lose my courage at the last second. Even though I can't tell her with my words how much I love her, I show her everyday how much she means to me with my actions. She seems content with me just showing her much I love her; waiting patiently until I'm ready.
'And I'm racking my brain for a new improved way
To let you know you're more to me than what I know how to say
You're okay with the way this going to be
Cause this is going to be the best thing we've ever seen'
She made me into a better person than I was before. I no longer had the desire to capture her friend and use him for my own means. She saw in me something that I didn't even see myself; she saw in me something honorable. Honor was something that I thought I'd lost along time ago, but she proved me wrong. She helped me see that my actions in trying to save those soldiers had been honorable, and that my father was the one who was lacking in honor.
'If anyone can make me a better person you could
All I gotta say is I musta done something good
You came along one day and you rearranged my life
All I gotta say is I musta done something right
I musta done something right'
I still find it hard to believe that someone as beautiful and perfect would want to be with a scarred old wreck like me. I know that she could have her pick of many men much better looking than me. Men that could offer much more than I could, when I expressed my concerns to her she kissed the side of my face with the scar and whispered in my ear, "How about love?"
I groaned and tightened my arms and around and declared, "Yes I have so much love to give you."
Anybody seeing us together would wonder at her decision to be with me, but it doesn't matter to me what they think because she choose me, and that's all that really matters.
'And maybe I'm just lucky cause it's hard to believe
Believe that somebody like you'd end up with someone like me
And I know that it's so cliché to talk about you this way
But I'll push all my inhibitions aside
It's so very obvious to everyone watching us
That we have got something real good going on'
I studied her carefully, listening vigilantly for hints of her desires. Storing all this information away, so that I can surprise her by doing little things for her, like leaving her favorite flowers on her pillow, stealing some of the seal blubber jerky away from her brother to give to her later. Things like that, small things to let her know how much she means to me.
'And I'm racking my brain for a new improved way

I like to tell her that until she came into my life I was only half of a man, a man who lived alone with no chance for friendship or love. I remind her of the story of the prince who was enchanted to be a beast until a beautiful maiden could love him. The only difference between our romance and the story is that I will always have the appearance of a beast.
She just laughs tells me that I am handsome and that I was good when I was younger, standing up for the soldiers, that I tried to save them. And that my scar is a mark of my honor, not of my shame.

I finally told her I loved her. That she meant the world to me. That nothing was more important, that I would give up my kingdom for her. I made a vow in front of the world that I was far from perfect, but that I would love her forever and a day. That was the day I married her. The day I married her was the best day of my life. Somewhere in my past I must of done something right.
