Special

I wish I could give you
all that you wanted,
all that you needed,
all you deserved...

But I understand dragons better, for it.

Dragons roar and dragons fly
high above the mountain tops
their silver wings dare pierce the sky
they take what they want with long fangs and a riddle.

Dragons fight against their sorrows,
Dragons compromise for their wars.
Dragons live with uneasy peace.

Dragons have seen the future become history,
have seen men crumple and men rise
empires rise, empires crumple
it's all the same;
they're immortal, we're not.

They aren't happy for their wealth
their peace, their easy diet
they aren't happy for their nearest friends
they are clever, beautiful, smart
mysterious


And very alone.
Very unable to connect without effort, a lot of it
very like....




I wish I could hold you
but it wouldn't change a thing
I had like this day dream you'd lay in my arms and cry
like I've lain in yours and have done prior
that's what friends do, and you're mine.

But if you leave, I'll remember this debt
sure as Heaven, I'll be waiting
to hear about your heroic deeds
the wings you fought so hard to win
when they aren't cut by grief.

But oh, how I would miss you
--how idle that is to say!--
would miss my heart and confidant
my bird, my friend, my heart-half.

You know my secrets
and I knew a few, too
we don't worry about them coming out,
we trust
we're friends...

You'll be happy, soon.
I know you will.
You have to be.

Heroes pass their challenges.
Knights pick up their swords again.


But their hearts still hurt.


Sorry to be a Negatron. Also:

"I just wish someone could love me as much as I love her."

I patted her shoulder, looked at her eyes. "Done." She sighed.

"Different."

Not to me.





Never to me.
