    19 I wake up to her soft scent next to me. It is a scent that I have never been able to fully describe. It is a mix of strawberries and summer. Maybe that’s just the way that I think of Sakura. She is so happy. She makes me so happy by just looking at her face. I love to wake up in the middle of the night and see her sleeping beside me. I still find it hard to believe that this is real. I can’t believe that she is here. I can’t believe that she is real. It’s been three years since she told me that she loved me and I wouldn’t trade a day since then. 

    20 

    21 Lying here with you 

    22 Listening to the rain 

    23 Smiling just to see 

    24 The smile upon your face 

    25 These are the moments 

    26 I thank God that I’m alive 

    27 These are the moments 

    28 I remember all my life 

    29 I find all I’ve waited for and 

    30 I could not ask for more 

    31 

    32 It’s raining outside. I see the raindrops wash over our window and I hear the wind gusting just beyond the safety of our home. It is our home. I smile as Sakura whispers something in her sleep. I hope that it is not a nightmare. I will wake her if I think that she is having a nightmare, but her face is relaxed and peaceful in the dim light of the room. Lightning flashes and I see her face clearly. I reach out and touch her cheek. Sakura is so beautiful. Her auburn hair falls across her pillow and barely touches mine. I kiss her softly on the cheek and her eyes flutter open. I didn’t mean to wake her. I just wanted to let her know that I was thinking about her. 

    33 

    34 Sakura smiles and whispers, “I love you, Tomoyo.” Before she drifts off to sleep again. For a moment I see her green eyes staring back at me and I know that she is happy. All I ever wanted to do was make her happy. I never thought that I could be happy too. 

    35 

    36 Looking in your eyes 

    37 Seeing all I need 

    38 Everything you are 

    39 Is everything to me 

    40 These are the moments 

    41 I know heaven must exist 

    42 These are the moments 

    43 I know all I need is this 

    44 I find all I’ve waited for and 

    45 I could not ask for more 

    46 

    47 I turn over and close my eyes. I really should get some rest. I have a lot of things to do tomorrow. I wish I could spend more time with her, but I know she is busy too. We both have work to do, but at least we have these moments together. I hear her shift a little in her sleep and I smile. I love her so much. Then I feel her hand on my shoulder and I turn around to see if she is alright. She is looking up at me dreamily, but she is awake. I ask her if there is anything wrong and she shakes her head. The next thing I know, her lips are on mine and we share a passionate kiss. At the end I look at her in disbelief and can only say her name “Sakura.” She just smiles again and holds me close to her. I drift off to sleep in her arms. 

    48 

    49 I could not ask for more than this time together 

    50 I could not ask for more than this time with you 

    51 And every prayer has been answered 

    52 Every dream has come true 

    53 Yeah right here in this moment 

    54 Is right where I’m meant to be 

    55 Here with you 

    56 Here with me 

    57 

    58 I still have trouble believing this is real. It all seems so perfect. She is here with me. She is here for me. I never factored this in to any of my plans. I always hoped and wished that Sakura could love me, but I was convinced that it was impossible. I still can’t imagine why she chose me. I shake my head as I stare at her reflection in the mirror, as we both get dressed. 

    59 

    60 These are the moments 

    61 I thank God that I’m alive 

    62 These are the moments 

    63 I’ll remember all my life 

    64 I’ve found all I’ve waited for 

    65 And I could not ask for more 

    66 

    67 Sakura looks up at me and smiles. I am sure that she knows what I am thinking. She always seems to. I look down at the carpet and a slight blush creeps over my cheeks as she gently traces the curve of my chin with her outstretched fingers. I look up into her shimmering green eyes and I feel my heart beat quicken in my chest. 

    68 

    69 “Tomoyo, I am so happy to have you here with me. I don’t know what I ever did without you.” 

    70 

    71 My throat suddenly feels dry. I don’t know what to say. She can say so much in just a few simple words. She knows that I feel the same way, but I have to make her see. 

    72 

    73 “Sakura, I am glad that I can make you happy. You have no idea how happy you have made me.” 

    74 

    75 I could not ask for more than this time together 

    76 I could not ask for more than this time with you 

    77 And every prayer has been answered 

    78 Every dream has come true 

    79 Yeah right here in this moment 

    80 Is right where I’m meant to be 

    81 Here with you 

    82 Here with me 

    83 

    84 Moments like these scare me a little. They feel too fragile, like delicate crystal on the edge of something about to fall. I am always afraid that I will do something wrong and the glass will fall and break into a thousand shards of glitter. Sakura smiles and wraps her arms around me. She understands me like no one else. She doesn’t ask why tears suddenly fill my eyes. She only brushes them away with her delicate fingers and kisses me softly on the cheek. The love that I feel for her is overpowering and I can feel it every time we touch. 

    85 

    86 “Tomoyo. Don’t ever forget how much you mean to me.” I shake my head and marvel at the way she says my name. There is no doubt that she loves me too. 

    87 

    88 No I could not ask for more than this love you gave me 

    89 ‘Cause it’s all I’ve waited for 

    90 And I could not ask for more 

    91 No I could not ask for more 

    92 

    93 There is nothing more I need. There is nothing more I want. I have the most precious treasure that I could ever ask for and she has given herself to me willingly. I am hers as well and I always will be. I take her hand in mine and squeeze it gently. I will never leave her. I will always love her and I know that it will always make her happy.
