Rating: G
Pairing: Zidane/Kuja
Warning: Shounen ai
Author's Note: This was the last Zidane/Kuja-writing of mine that I wrote for myself. I was much happier with this one than with My Demon, My Angel, even though Zidane sounds too sensitive. Maybe it's only good that I stopped writing Z/K..

Summary: Zidane wishes.

Here With Me

The winds keep singing the song of your life
Of the fate of beautiful soul of doom
Whenever I approach the tree of death
Your ultimate grave of fallen leaves
I wish you were here, my dark messenger
Standing by my side, reaching out for me with your love
Offering the heart of shadowed destiny's child
Heart of my angel of hope

But is too late now
Night of your life has fallen, wrapped around us
You left me without a word of warning
When passing away with the saddest sigh
Never taking me with you
Leaving me in the grasp of agony

How I long to touch your white hair
Feathers of the purest swan
How I long to stare in your blue eyes
Dark sapphires of heavens
How I long to hold your body close to me
Mermaid of the ocean of beauty
One who always smiled, both in joy and in sorrow
Smiled at me

But you're not here, never again, not with me
Cruelty of the fate took you in an early grave
Tore you away from my arms, from life
Freed you from the flames of misery
To the eternal peace of death

Kuja, my love
For you will my heart beat
For you will I live my life
For you will I hope and love
For you, one day, will I also die

I wont' forget you
The child of destruction, angel of death
Now it's time to say goodbye
To the lost love, to fallen hope
To Kuja, my beloved one
How I long to join you in the darkness
To join you in the darkness

But in light must I stride
Wishing you were here with me
