Story Notes:

one more warning - Yet more poetry ahead!

I blame coup fatel who wanted a prequel to 'Standing Strong' I dont know if thats exactly what she got but the following is what she's getting!

I have to say that no matter how either turned out I found them incredibly hard to do - I'd think up some great lines and end up pulling my hair out trying to come up with useful words to rhyme.

P.S. dont ever ask kids of any age to help cause apparently there's only one obvious word to them that rhymes with heart and somehow i just couldn't fit it in!

I remember how you looked that day
How I felt at watching your display.
My heart stopped beating, knees grew weak
All from watching your physique.
Beauty and power you did portray
I couldn’t tear my eyes away.

~ ~ ~ ~ ~

I remember seeing their jealous rage
As you stepped up into that cage.
A glorious sight you were to behold
So much power, so controlled.
Beauty and the beast combined
Both so effortlessly entwined.

~ ~ ~ ~ ~

I remember an internal fire
Watching you caused such desire.
Breaking from your fighting stance
You turned my way and stole a glance.
Thousands of words exchanged in silence
Love was born amongst the violence.

~ ~ ~ ~ ~

I remember you were so aware
But underneath I saw despair.
Just like me you couldn’t trust
This world’s hatred and disgust.
Trying to hide but I could see
That you were lost, just like me.

~ ~ ~ ~ ~

I remember how I felt alone
When your whereabouts were still unknown.
How I missed you, how much I cried
At the emptiness I felt inside.
I’d hold your tags against my heart
Try to imagine we weren’t apart.

~ ~ ~ ~ ~

I remember first seeing the true extent
Of your body’s torture and torment.
How I was grateful for the beast within
When your nightmares did begin.
Dormant until awoken by dreaming
Soothing me when I woke up screaming.

~ ~ ~ ~ ~

I remember how the pain would ease
How from inside you’d relieve.
You’d kiss away my angry tears
Scare away my raging fears.
Comfort for me while you weren’t about
Protecting me from inside out.

~ ~ ~ ~ ~

I remember how I felt the day
You called to check that I was o.k.
You told me what I meant to you
I told you that I felt it too.
Admitting just how much we cared
Revealing all the dreams we shared.

~ ~ ~ ~ ~

I remember after your return
I had to alleviate your concern -
Yes I knew the depth to our feelings
And yes I understood all its meanings.
Forever linked, forever bound
Completeness of each other so profound.

~ ~ ~ ~ ~

I remember keeping the truth well hidden
In their eyes our love forbidden.
I was pure innocence, young and able
You were an animal, unpredictable, unstable.
It was so much easier just to pretend
That we were nothing more than friends.

~ ~ ~ ~ ~

I remember how they never saw
Beneath my looks, beneath your claws.
To them I was only ever a freak
To you I was special and unique.
It’s how I felt about you too
Their judgements of us were all untrue.

~ ~ ~ ~ ~

I remember the wait was not prolonged
We needed to confirm where we belonged.
Giving in quickly to temptation
Enjoying each and every sensation.
Breaking down with all the emotion
Loving each other with such devotion.

~ ~ ~ ~ ~

I remember all the promises shared
The depth in all the vows declared.
Tears that fell as a ring was placed
Feather light kisses as we embraced.
Companions found for each broken soul
No longer lonely, finally whole.

~ ~ ~ ~ ~

I remember your need to protect only me
Ingrained within you to such a degree.
My safety first at any cost
You couldn’t live if I were lost.
In the jet I would remain
So you could fight with no refrain.

~ ~ ~ ~ ~

I remember you saying you wouldn’t be long
You hated leaving, said it felt wrong.
But I wasn’t needed amongst the fight
So I promised you I would be alright.
Make sure you stay safe was your whispered plea
A quick kiss given as my guarantee.

~ ~ ~ ~ ~

I remember a shadow approaching fast
The flash of a sword and my fate was cast.
All so quick I didn’t see
Who it was that came at me.
I thought I was safe and being alert
I’m sorry, I didn’t think I’d get hurt.

~ ~ ~ ~ ~

I remember I fell heavily to the ground
How metal impaled me without a sound.
Saw far too late the deathly blade
How strange it was no sound was made.
By deaths dark gaze I’m now surrounded
Your instincts about leaving we not unfounded.

~ ~ ~ ~ ~

I remember the tenderness of each caress
The statements of love that you’d confess.
The passionate touches that made me high
The kisses that would darken my eyes.
How just being near made my heart rate increase
How together we gave our souls such peace.

~ ~ ~ ~ ~

I remember it all with so much pleasure
Every minute held moments to treasure.
The gentlest of touches that could leave us burning
Heated looks so full of yearning.
Showing each other such love and affection
Blessed to have this rare connection.

~ ~ ~ ~ ~

I remember you and the love I found
It makes me smile as darkness surrounds.
No more time, I can feel the ending
Warmth leaving, a coldness descending
As I close my eyes and let dreams begin
I promise to remember everything.

The end x
