Thoughts on a Rooftop By Jon Farber (sabreb@erols.com) Don't you understand? The only reason I can do all this, the only reason I can go on is because I know that you are here for me... here to hold me and tell me it's all right... I know you call me your bodyguard, or a worrier, but that's all I can do about you. You are like a god to me, my rock and my redeemer. Whenever something goes wrong, I know that you are there to help make it right. Whenever I don't know what to do, I look to you and it's like nothing else matters. You own me completely and totally, and I love you more with more passion each and every day. Why can't you see that when you look at me? Why can't I tell you? No... Please don't put your arm around me, please don't pull me in. Tasting heaven like that would be sheer hell for me. I can't stand to see you smile at me, knowing that you smile that way for them, too. You can't understand how much I want to just hold you, nothing more, and feel your warm body relax, to wake up in the morning and watch you breathe while you sleep. I have no choice. I snuggle in closer to you, resting my head on your chest, listening to your heart beat slowly, soothing me, lulling me to sleep. This is happiness, and I would trade everything that I have, everything that I am, to be able to stay like this forever with you. "C'mon, Ryoko. Let's go inside now." you mumble, ever so gently squeezing my shoulder. Snaking my arm around you, I plead, "Mmmm.... In a few minutes, Tenchi." END No author's notes, no nothing... Just a kind of melancholy fuzzy feeling... -- JD Farber email: sabreb@erols.com ICQ: 3378089 Wait a second.... That's not Suzaku... It's a GIANT CHICKEN!!
