7 Dear Diary..
|
|
rlm@2
|

|
|
rlm@2
|
9 It has been several months since I began living with her and Sonomi-
|
|
rlm@2
|
10 sama. That fateful night..the night I discovered I was her special
|
|
rlm@2
|
11 someone.. started a whole new chapter in my life. I was surprised by
|
|
rlm@2
|
12 my family's reaction to our proposal that I live with her. Father was
|
|
rlm@2
|
13 not upset ,but relieved that I would not be by myself
|
|
rlm@2
|
14 anymore..especially with his long hours and Onii-chan's part-time
|
|
rlm@2
|
15 jobs keeping them from home so much. Sonomi-sama was thrilled with
|
|
rlm@2
|
16 the idea. She was very excited that her beloved Nadesico's daughter
|
|
rlm@2
|
17 would be living in her large home. Likewise, all of the staff and
|
|
rlm@2
|
18 bodyguards have been so warm and kind to me. Tomoyo and I share the
|
|
rlm@2
|
19 same room and large bed. It seems like everyone has been supportive
|
|
rlm@2
|
20 with the move all the way around. Even my usually gruff Onii-chan is
|
|
rlm@2
|
21 pleased.. now that Syaoran is out of my heart. And of course, Tomoyo
|
|
rlm@2
|
22 and I still keep my sorceress affairs secret..even though all of the
|
|
rlm@2
|
23 Cards have been captured long ago.
|
|
rlm@2
|
24
|
|
rlm@2
|
25 Each day has been so wonderful and filled with great joy. We
|
|
rlm@2
|
26 sometimes study together after classes in Penguin Park or cheer for
|
|
rlm@2
|
27 each other as we participate in our different clubs. School days are
|
|
rlm@2
|
28 spent like before the move, except I hold hands with her more. If
|
|
rlm@2
|
29 there is nobody around though, playful mischievous Tomoyo encircles
|
|
rlm@2
|
30 my waist with her tiny arms and kisses me with her soft lips. Even
|
|
rlm@2
|
31 now, she still adores my looks of surprise and my blushing cheeks.
|
|
rlm@2
|
32
|
|
rlm@2
|
33 Tonight, I write in you after another session of love-making. In the
|
|
rlm@2
|
34 moon light, Tomoyo's bare shoulder peeks above the sheets. She sleeps
|
|
rlm@2
|
35 on her side facing mine, and the bed looks gigantic with only her in
|
|
rlm@2
|
36 it. Her hands are together..fingers clasped as if in prayer. From the
|
|
rlm@2
|
37 open window, a gentle breeze moves her long black hair. Her face
|
|
rlm@2
|
38 wears a smile now..a smile I can always see. It is no longer forced.
|
|
rlm@2
|
39 Her grief and sadness forever gone, she has thrown all of her masks
|
|
rlm@2
|
40 away. With each breath, a strand of her hair floats skyward. Her
|
|
rlm@2
|
41 mouth soundlessly utters my name. I know because she now wears that
|
|
rlm@2
|
42 special smile..the one that is just for me. Her fingers automatically
|
|
rlm@2
|
43 seek me..drawn to the warmth of my vacated portion of the mattress. A
|
|
rlm@2
|
44 troubled look crosses her face, and I quickly summon Mirror to kindly
|
|
rlm@2
|
45 take my place. Mirror copies my image and quickly gets into the bed.
|
|
rlm@2
|
46 Tomoyo's questing fingers find her, and her special smile once again
|
|
rlm@2
|
47 lights her face.
|
|
rlm@2
|
48
|
|
rlm@2
|
49 With relief, I return to my thoughts and writing..while Mirror holds
|
|
rlm@2
|
50 Tomoyo close..stroking her hair..and holding her close. Snuggling,
|
|
rlm@2
|
51 Tomoyo sleeps peacefully again. I should hurry this entry, though.
|
|
rlm@2
|
52 Mirror can not fool her heart for long. I may be the sorceress, but
|
|
rlm@2
|
53 Tomoyo has an even greater power. Tonight, I see it..a powerful
|
|
rlm@2
|
54 aura..an aura that should consume her porcelain doll-like body. She
|
|
rlm@2
|
55 loves me so completely and so intensely that I worry she will break
|
|
rlm@2
|
56 one day. I feel a knot of fear in my belly.. a fear of the unknown
|
|
rlm@2
|
57 future. What would I do if I woke up one morning..only to kiss cold
|
|
rlm@2
|
58 lips..and discover her lifeless?
|
|
rlm@2
|
59
|
|
rlm@2
|
60 During nights of worry, I have been trying to create a magic of my
|
|
rlm@2
|
61 own. Tomoyo has always been frail. So, I want to create a Card of
|
|
rlm@2
|
62 Health and Healing..one I can use for her when she is ill. But so
|
|
rlm@2
|
63 far, I have had no success. I have always relied on her, but I
|
|
rlm@2
|
64 understand now that it would be unbearable for me to lose her. I
|
|
rlm@2
|
65 crave her soft lips and her lavender eyes..the warmth of her
|
|
rlm@2
|
66 body..and the bath her love prepares for me..that always cleanses my
|
|
rlm@2
|
67 heart..
|
|
rlm@2
|
68
|
|
rlm@2
|
69 During my first days with her, I was always apologizing. I felt
|
|
rlm@2
|
70 guilty for being so slow to perceive her love for me..and mine for
|
|
rlm@2
|
71 her..for all of those lonely tear-filled nights she lived through. I
|
|
rlm@2
|
72 cried from all of the scars I cut into her heart. But, with her usual
|
|
rlm@2
|
73 tenderness, she would only kiss me and bid me to worry about that no
|
|
rlm@2
|
74 more. All of those nights lived only in her past, and she looks now
|
|
rlm@2
|
75 only to our future. Even with the Return Card, I could never undo
|
|
rlm@2
|
76 those wounds. The paradox of Time prevents me. So, reluctantly, I
|
|
rlm@2
|
77 complied with her wishes.
|
|
rlm@2
|
78
|
|
rlm@2
|
79 With my own voice, Mirror whispers across the room to me. Tomoyo
|
|
rlm@2
|
80 frowns and stirs restlessly. With my quiet thanks, Mirror and I
|
|
rlm@2
|
81 switch places. I kiss Tomoyo's upturned cheek and once more see her
|
|
rlm@2
|
82 special smile. Her mystical aura of love envelops us both in its
|
|
rlm@2
|
83 protective blanket..covering our unclothed bodies..soothing us into a
|
|
rlm@2
|
84 deep and peaceful sleep...burning all my concerns away.. |
