"This.." he whispered as he lowered his face and kissed her with all of his passion that he felt for her.

"And what would that be?" She was truly curious, her mind flowing in that of stilted waves, just as her heart beat irregularly.

"Then there is only one thing left..." Danieru said as he held her tightly in his arms.

"Agreed..." That one word was the last, leaving her blank and feeling relieved.

With nothing more to add he said "Lets never be apart.."

"But it would be without you, already draining it of half of the good." She gazed intently in his eyes, their faces in close proximity.

"As long as your in the world there is no way it can be pitiful!" he then pulled her into hims arms closer and then moved his face right into hers.

"You are stronger than I. Life would seem bleak and meaningless without you. But, if it be your wish, I would continue on as much as possible. But, it might end up a pitiful existence."

"No not that, if I were to die I would want you to continue onward even stronger then before to continue living on holding on to your dreams. If you were to die first then I would continue on the two of us as one!"

"You know I could never do as such. They would have to pry my cold and dying hands from you before I would leave. And if you were to die before I, I would weep and mourn, wishing for death with each passing day, so I could be beside you once more."

"For if you do grow tired of this life here then I wish you all the best even though you'd be leaving behind some of your soul. In the act of you leaving you'd be killing the person you cares for you the most!"

"But what if I were to leave? I may grow tired and wish for more. Though I know the notion is that of frivolity, what would you would do then?" Leelu's voice dwindled as she spoke, for her fear of the matter ever happening was that of great proportions.

"And thats were you are wrong and for now I am in charge of my own life and with all the strength of my mind and body I shall never leave you again, and for if I do it will destroy me more then you would ever know!"

"Again, I am defeated. But, in my defeat, I am joyous and content. For I know how you truly feel, and you know how I do." Leelu smiled brightly and pulled herself to him, hugging him tightly. "Please warn me next time you leave, if you do. But, I'm almost certain you will. For every good thing must come to an end at some time."

"And when I left all those years ago I felt as if a huge part of my heart had been ripped out and the new place I had moved to was suppose to replace it. Similar to the pain you felt I felt that I needed to fill it back up with false friendships and lovers. But soon I realized that there was no way to fill a whole in your hear unless you replace it with what originally left. So now I stand here in this wonderful place and now I am complete"

"Exactly. I suppose I shall go first." Leelu smiled and looked into his eyes, her own reflecting the intensity of his gaze. "It hurt. It hurt me deeply when you left. I felt betrayed, though I knew it was no more your fault than my own. I felt as if I could trust no one any longer. Those who tried soon saw that it was hopeless to try and convince me otherwise. So, I withdrew to what I knew best, that being nature. Everyday I came here, after coming upon it one day, and everyday I sat and cried silently. I thought I would never see you again, and I swore to myself to never befriend or even contemplate befriending another until you returned. I see now that my reason to act in such a manner, was because I loved you. And you leaving ripped my heart out, and you took it with you."

"So then that means we must both face the truth then, and without delay for if we withhold what is in our hearts then we will be denying what is essentially ourselves!" he stared her straight in the eyes with intensity.

"We simply must stop this trying to top the other with compliments. Let us get right down to the truth, and use no caution for the other." Leelu wrapped her arms around him and pulled back after a moment, wanting to look him straight on.

"And yet you continue to top them with your continuous onslaught of expressionistic ideas that can convey much more then I ever could hope to dream a dream of!" he said as he pulled her into his arms.

"Even more than your words can express? I would consider myself fool-hardy to believe that anything would ever be able to match the expression your words convey!" Leelu smiled at him and squeezed his hand lightly.
