| Him |
Her |
| I scribble the last answer of the test with a satisfied smile. But as I look across the room, euphoria fades and I longingly gaze at my Goddess, my love. She fairly bursts with life, shining with energy. Even her fustrated grimace is somehow charming. |
Sighing softly, I allow my gaze to wander the room. As always, I find myself drawn to him, my Lord, my love. He sits in meditation, completely relaxed, raw ability seemingly shining in a brilliant blue-white aura. |
| I look away as she finishes, not wanting to burden her with my presence. While I would gladly give anything to be with her, her happiness comes before my selfish desires. If I cannot even talk to her because I feel so akward, so tounge-tied, that I cannot even make sense, then what is the use? No, far better to allow her to fly free. |
Intelligence, knowledge, fairness, power, in all these he rivals the gods themselves. Next to him, I am a rabbit to a wild horse, always hiding when he would confront his fears. Is it any wonder that when I am lucky enough to catch him alone, to talk to him, he finds excuses to leave? What is so repulsive about me? He sometimes chats with other girls, yet we have never talked for more than fifteen minutes. Why can we two not be one? |
| Life, vitality, happiness, even the gods would envy her position. When she laughs, the whole room brightens with her brilliant green-white aura. Next to her, I stand akwardly as a crab to a dolphin, unable to act gracefully or with any coordination. |
How does he manage to avoid the attention, the miniature, mindless politics? When an arbiter is needed, there is never doubt whether he is impartial; that he will not randomly take sides. His stability is that of the Earth, while I am tossed about by the fleeting gusts and whims of society. |
| Even if, by some cosmic accident, she were to notice me, and thereby violate every law of the known universe, what would I have to offer? She lives in a world of perpetual motion, dancing with faeries, running with the wind. Would that I could join her, to be part of that dynamic system, but I am as earthbound as any other captive fish. |
Even if, by some miracle, he were to notice me, thereby making me the luckiest girl in the world, what have I to offer? He lives with information, with confidince, while I am a mess of ignorance and chaos. Would that I could join him in the comforting logic of order, but, alas, I cannot. |
| I steal a glance back at my love, and -- Oh! SheslookingatmeImsohappy...
Ko-chan... I now know what I must do. I am leaving for a year of training; when I return, perhaps I will be better suited for your magnificent grace... |
I steal a glance back at my love, and -- Oh! HeislookingatmeandIamsohappy...
Ko-chan... I see now what I must do. I am leaving for a year of training; when I return, perhaps I will be better suited for your majestic strength... |
