A/N: I tried. ;_; The whole Jiggy/Gauche pairing idea makes me think unimaginably weird things. As much as I absolutely adore Aria, it's nice to write about someone else for a change. :3

Loosely inspired by a song by the Wallflowers titled "Angel On My Bike". I don't own that song, nor do I own Tegami Bachi.

Please, enjoy!


The Iron Heart (Jiggy/Gauche)

The wishes we made
in those days
our hopes, dreams, fears
all blended vigorously in this mist of dust
the trail that we left behind us

The hopes we held
for a future
where no one cried
tears other than those of loving kindness
would shatter the moment our hearts faltered

The scars we gained
as lives progressed
mementos of our suffering
sadness stained our faces, our wills, our minds
we kept believing healing days would come

The dreams we adored
kept closely by
wrapped securely around us
snowy threads woven together in our finest hour
we remained warm through this brutal winter

The kisses we shared
love's purest display
our promises tenderly honored
the heart's resonances from within our soft lips
rendered us oblivious to silly distracting musings

The love we lived
one for another
our burdens equally carried
not a chance to stall ourselves with regrets
our iron hearts only propelled us forward
