Binding Hearts
Chapter 12
With Po and Tigress
"Ti it's not your fault… You couldn't have stopped him even if you wanted to" Po tried to comfort Tigress but was failing miserably.
"No Po! It's my duty to protect him, I made a promise!" She batted his paw away from her shoulder as she looked into his eyes angrily, her own starting to water.
"And… now it's all my fault he's gone…" Tigress whispered under her breath.
Po looked at her with a heart full of compassion and love, love – the one thing that would keep him strong no matter what, and the one that held his heart in her strong paws now needed his comfort, his love and his gentle touch.
He pulled the saddened tiger into a warm and loving embrace, their hearts now in tune, the melody that was needed seemed to come from the distant moon, accompanied by words of comfort, words of care, words of love.
Slowly fading away
You're lost and so afraid
Where is the hope in a world so cold
Looking for a distant light
Someone who could save a life
You're living in fear that no one will hear your cries
Can you save me now
I am with you
I will carry you through it all
I won't leave you I will catch you
When you feel like letting go
Cause your not, your not alone
The tigers heart, weighed down by the heavy tears that were damping her fur and the fur of her love was slowly being taken away by his gentle words. Once again she knew why the panda held her heart. It was love.
Your heart is full of broken dreams
Just a fading memory
And everything's gone but the pain carries on
Lost in the rain again
When will it ever end
The arms of relief seem so out of reach
But I, I am here
I am with you
I will carry you through it all
I won't leave you I will catch you
When you feel like letting go
Cause your not, your not alone
And I'll be your hope when you feel like its over
And I will pick you up when your whole world shatters
And when you're finally in my arms
Look up and see love has a face
I am with you
I will carry you through it all
I won't leave you I will catch you
When you feel like letting go
Cause you're not, you're not alone
And I will be your hope
And I will pick you up
And I will be your hope
And I will be your hope
Slowly fading away
Your lost and so afraid
Where is the hope in a world so cold
The streets in which the couple stood were now empty, the panda holding his beloved tiger in a warm and soft embrace, as they both whispered those three words that bind hearts together: "I love you".
