A Double-Edged Sword of Pain and Bliss- Love

It is so hard to accept this, that I myself caused this great rift to form between she and I. I thought that she would always follow me, and keep her eyes trained on me, but I was such a fool. Worse yet, I was blind to a gift splayed out before me, but perhaps, I was blind to it because it seemed too easy. Everything in my life involved hard work, determination, and perfection; that was the only way I was used to receiving my gifts.

Hmph, a weak excuse huh? Perhaps I simply became far too intertwined in my training, perhaps that could have something to do with it. Strange though isn't it? You seek a change in your life for so long that you are blind to the change once it occurs. After the war, so many things were in reach for me. Yet, I had become so accustomed to fighting for all that I received that I didn't enjoy things that simply……… came to me.

And thus, she sought the attention she so deserved, from another man whom I considered a brother on the battlefield. But I am happy for her, as she found the strength to seek what would not come to her. She and my comrade have found true love and happiness, though an overused cliché, that is the truth in this case. I was shocked, appalled, and angered at first, but I overcame them all and I am now beginning to fix the errors of my ways and move on.

Well, here I stand at the altar, but ironically, not at the place I wish I could be. You see, I am simply the best man now, nothing more……… It pains me to stand so close, and yet so far, but I have finally accepted that this is all my fault.

Perhaps, one day, I will find the other edge to the sword that is love, but for now, I am contented to watch the bride and groom dance their lives away, in a continuing waltz of love and adoration. For now, I simply seek to live the life that I have chosen, the life that I have lived thus far, the life, of a soldier……………..

And the young man narrating his story stepped out onto the floor and took the hand of a dashing, auburn haired-young lady and began to waltz with her upon the polished marble floor, while unconsciously watching the young newlywed couple. The waltz ended and while the newlyweds continued their waltz, the young man with unruly, chocolate-brown hair stepped off the floor and bade fair well to the young lady he had been waltzing with.

He stepped out of the reception hall and into the crowded area around the hall, where thousands of reporters and local citizens had gathered to catch a glimpse of the famous couple. He placed a top hat upon his forehead far enough to conceal his face, and said a few words to the night air…………..

"Fair well, O fortunate lovers, you have found each other, and the edge of the sword, love, which promises happiness. Take care of Relena for me Trowa; I will always be the guardian to the both of you. I have found a way to break free from the bonds of my old self, and begin anew. I will search for what you are lucky to have found………."

And the young man, whose name was Heero, (Big surprise……*NOT*) broke free of the massive crowd and stepped out into the crisp night air to begin his life, his mind, and his heart, anew.

Maybe To Be Continued At A Later Date…………………
