Waiting

Waiting in the shadows,
But never coming near,
Is a girl who is shy,
And never comes forth,
To say what she means,
To feel the things,
She's longing to feel.

It all seems hopeless to her,
Love is always eluding,
Ever so far away.
Then he comes along,
Spiky hair,
Tan skin,
As if he had come up,
Out of the desert,
Gold armbands,
Neckbands,
And a cunning smile.

He spots you from the corner of his eyes,
Turns and walks towards you.
"Are you alright?"
"I'm fine."

"Suit yourself, This is a dangerous place. You shouldn't be here."
She crosses her arms and 'hmphs' at him.
He starts to walk away,
And you realize just who that was.

You run up to him and he stops,
"Yes."
"What do you mean by Dangerous?"
He smirks at you,
And backs you up against the wall,
His arms on either side of your head.

"Oh."
He drops his arms,
Starts to walk away,
And you quickly follow.
"It would be wise not to follow me, Young One."

"I can take care of myself."
"Oh, really?"
He takes out a sword,
And holds it up to your throat.
"You are not safe around me, I bring danger with me wherever I go."
"Is that so." You pecks him on the cheek and he pulls away.
"Cute. But that won't save you."
"Really, then I guess I don't want to be saved."

You both walk a distance to the cliffs,
He turns to you,
And runs his fingers across your cheek,
"You are foolish, You know that right?"
He leans in and you closes your eyes,
As if by reaction.

"Noone is foolish when they love someone."
He laughs quietly, and sits down.
He pats the ground next to him,
You sit down swiftly,
And he pulls you against his side.
You lay your head against his side,
Seeing as he was a little taller than you.

"What do you see out there?" He asks.
"Ocean, Sky, and let's see, a huge open world where we can be together."

He chuckles, and looks at you.
"Not one person I have asked that to has ever gotten that right."
"What does that mean?"
"That means your the right girl for me." He smiles at her.

You both stare out into the horizen,
Each in each others arms.
Each loving each others embrace.
