"We've always been the best of friends

No secrets and no demands

But suddenly from somewhere out of the blue

I see a different light around you

One thing I haven't told you, I just want to hold you

And never let go, I need to know

How do I get there from here

how do I make you see..."

Kono Kalakaua was surfing the waves again, thinking that she had never had the chance to make him see, he had always belonged to Danny, and for her he only had a friendly smile.

She was an only child but found in her cuz, Chin Ho Kelly, her familiar soul mate; he had always been there for her, her best friend in the entire world. When he fell in disgrace she was with him and stood against their entire family for her cuz.

Then years passed and one day her cuz came with a haole and him. The first time she saw his amused face she loved him. She was a strong person and wanted to tell him because to her he had proved himself worthy by giving her cuz an opportunity without question.

But as time went by, she saw...he wasn´t for her.

"Wonder if you ever see me

and I wonder if you know I am there

If you looked in my eyes would you see what's inside?

Would you even care?.."

She tried for a long time to make him see. She couldn´t understand why he didn´t see her, it wasn´t until she really saw him that she knew she wasn´t the one made for his happy ending, Danny was. He was in love with him, he had closed his eyes to everyone but the chosen one, and he had chosen Danny, leaving her only the space of a friend.

"Have you ever loved somebody so much

It makes you cry

Have you ever needed something so bad

You can't sleep at night

Have you ever tried to find the words

But they don't come out right

Have you ever, have you ever..."

As time went on, she thought that she could at least tell him, make him aware of her feelings, but she couldn´t. She wasn´t that strong to see the rejection in his face, she didn´t wanted to see him changing around her, so she keep quiet, she silenced her heart, she learned to feel only friendship, only loyalty for the man that was her prince.

And one day he was gone and with him, he took half of her heart.

She cried in silence because her love, tears wouldn´t be understood, because only Danny had that right, but it hurt too much, because she loved him, and every feeling came back to her.

She stood by Danny, along side her cuz, and they faced the darkness that was swallowing them, and she let go because maybe if she burned it will stop the pain.

She stood there by her Ohana with silenced tears because she wasn´t the chosen one, because her prince give his heart to somebody else...
