~Once in time~
...
There was a time, a time in which a foolish wish expressed by someone even more foolish had made two kings from the past meet each other.
Only for a short time. But they had met.
And somehow, that simple meeting had truly brought them together.
…
~You were my love~
...
He yearned for a woman. A woman with golden locks and fiercely burning green eyes.
She was the only person he had ever loved.
She had been his only love.
She had been his love.
She still was.
…
~Revealing love~
...
He was not part of the planning.
A tall man with haughty, blood red eyes and golden hair should never have been there.
Having any form of regard and affection towards him was not planned and was not welcome.
Yet, at the same time, having those feelings – and having them returned – was making her discover something new in her life.
Love.
A kind of love she had never desired. But it found its way into her life anyway.
It was a revelation.
…
~In summer rain~
...
He kissed her. She responded to the kiss.
It was in the middle of a downpour, when they had been surprised by the sudden rain – and neither of them had had anything to shield them from it.
As the cold water ran over their bodies and drenched them, they did not spare a thought about it.
They were too lost in each other to care.
…
~And autumn pain~
...
“I am… sorry.”
He had never apologized before. Yet that time, only that once, he did.
For not realizing how much he loved her – for not realizing it sooner.
He did not realize how much he loved her until he lost her, their respective pasts dragging them back to their times.
He had not thought it would hurt so much.
They only had one rainy summer together.
When fall came, they were brought back to Uruk and Camelot.
…
~I cried in vain~
...
Crying. As if. She never cried.
And she didn’t shed a single tear when they were separated.
Not a single one.
Her pain was beyond tears.
Far, far beyond.
…
~I miss you so~
...
She did miss him though.
Camelot wasn’t the same place she had once felt to be, and called, home. Her time with him had made her learn and change, and her rule was different from what probably could have been.
She missed him.
What she didn’t know – yet suspected – was that he missed her, too.
Every hour, every minute, every second, he missed her.
It was said that time healed all wounds – but maybe this one was too deep to heal.
In the past, he had had to accept his best friend’s death.
He now had to accept that the woman he loved was alive, loved him back… but was out of his reach.
…
~You were my delight~
...
It didn’t matter.
Even though they were from different eras and every moment they spent together equalled to an explosive collision of two thunderstorms, it was always worth it.
After all, thunderstorms were beautiful.
…
~In my soul~
...
In her mind, in her soul, in her heart… always.
He was her everything.
She was his everything.
In his mind, in his soul, in his heart… always.
They were going to meet again.
It was more than a simple wish. It was a certainty. They knew that they were waiting for each other.
And they would find each other.
Because nothing was going to keep them apart.
Not time, not space, not anything.
Nothing.
…
~In my heart~
