Sleep will not come to this tired body now
Peace will not come to this lonely heart.
There are some things I'll live without
But I want you to know that I need you right now
I need you tonight
Zelgadis once again took first watch over their small group. Not so much as out of wanting to protect them, but so he could watch her. There was something about watching her falling asleep. She would toss back and forth, until she got comfortable, then sleep would overtake her. That is when she looks the most innocent. The harshness of the days travels disappear, and an almost angelic look overtakes her. During the day he is her closest friend, the one who she turns to for advice.
I wish I was more to her, but I fear she won't let me. For so long I have not let myself be happy or take what I want. I fear that is she is something that I can't do without.
Zelgadis gave a wistful sigh as he turned his eyes from her slumbering for and looked towards the sky.
I steal a kiss from her sleeping shadow moves
Cause I'll always miss her wherever she goes.
And I'll need her more than she will ever need me
I need someone to ease my mind
But sometimes a someone is hard to find
Zel heard Lina whimper in her sleep, and once again his thoughts drifted towards her.
She is the only one who makes me feel whole again. She can make me laugh, even when I don't want too. She is the one who completes me, but she will never know. Now that I have found her, I hate it when we part ways. L-sama why did I have to be cursed inside a body that she could never love me in?
And I'll do anything to keep her here tonight
And I'll say anything to make her feel alright
And I'll be anything to keep her here tonight
Cause I want you to stay, with me
I need you tonight.
Zel was in a way glad that she didn't know what power she held in her hands. He would gladly act any part for her. From the hero to the fool, he would pretend to be anyone to make her happy.
She comes to me like an angel out of time
As I play the part if a saint on my knees
There are some things I'll live without
But I want you to know I need you right now.
Zel's wandering thoughts and fantasies were brought to earth as a hand landed on his shoulder.
"You feeling ok Zel?" Lina's worried red eyes peered into his.
"I'm fine, I guess I am more tired than I thought."
"Well you can go on to sleep now. I'll take the rest of the watch." Lina sat down next to him on the log, and looked up at the stars.
"They are beautiful tonight."
So are you is what Zel wanted to say.
"They sure are. Thanks again, Lina. I'll see you in the morning."
"Night Zel." Lina watched him walk back into camp then turned back to look at the stars, missing the look of longing that Zelgadis gave her before he fell into a fitful sleep.
Suffer my desire
Suffer my desire
Suffer my desire for you.
Sorry so not my usual style, but I was in a funk. I promise that I will make it up to you in my next story. As always feedback is more than welcome....good or bad
