Written by Ren, to Nora.
When first I met you, how sad the sight;
My heart still wept, yet I was mute.
I couldn't scream or stand and fight,
Inaction had me by the roots.
But soon I learned that even those
Who fight will die, or disappear;
I fled, a tear-stained little boy,
As father's words rang in my ears.
We found each other, we found our hope;
If I had only known how dear,
The bravery and warmth your spirit spoke,
As you hugged the hug of desperate fear.
Calmly we sat, as danger passed,
A mounted demon ever-reaching;
Little toy mallet, your hand held fast,
"Stay with me", your eyes beseeching.
From early on we've cheated death.
As we ducked and dodged its grimm-like arms;
Shuddered and gasped through bated breath,
Lone orphans against such menacing harm.
Traveling and dangerously daring as life,
Took its best shot at ending ours,
Leaving its scars and marks and strife,
Yet never refusing to surrender or cower.
Of fewer words and smaller gestures,
Has always been my way of living.
Still of my thoughts and love now measured,
For you I will be ever giving.
You've fought and won - attained such power!
Yet somehow stayed my precious Nora;
You've shined upon my shadowed flower;
My quiet strength; your electric aura.
Please once again now grasp my hand,
Our fates and futures as fingers entwined;
Stay by my side through foreign lands,
Forever I'm yours...as you are mine.
