Description
I can feel it:A sort of pulse
separate from my heart,
yet still connected.
I focus on it,
feeling it's beating grow,
stronger and higher,
like a fire.
I know what it is,
how to control it,
but I must still be
cautious, ever cautious.
Her life depends on it.
Higher and hotter the
fire grows, now encompassing
the beat of my heart,
melding the two into
one solid pound after another.
I know I am strong,
powerful, without doubt,
and I am grateful for
such a gift, but I am
also scared of it.
What I could do.
Will my actions stay pure?
Or will I go power mad?
No. There is no choice.
I must keep it controlled.
It will not consume me.
I am stronger than the power.
I control it, not the other way 'round.
Her life depends on it.
More than that depends on it.
There is too much at stake.
I must stand my ground.
I cannot falter now,
I've come too far to lose
my way in the last stretch.
By my will, I am strong.
By my will, she is safe.
On my life, she is safe.
She is safe, because I am strong.
I am strong, because she loves me.
By my will, she will know
all that she means to me...
She is my all.
My life, my love,
the air I breathe,
the sun, the rain,
the stars above,
the reason I wake,
and the reason I continue to be.
With all that I am, have been,
ever will be and more,
I love her.

My... 19 hours.... that sure is a long trip.
As far as the poem is concerned, i sensed a lot more hope towards the end.
Well, i think that's the last bit i hadn't yet looked at...

There is more hope toward the end. I was.... panicking a bit. But I realized that I am strong enough to keep her from harm. And that's exactly what I plan to do.

Painful, too. Considering my lack of care for my own safety. All as long as she is safe.

Ah well, now you have extra incentive to keep yourself safe too. That's a bonus.

For the most part I try to keep safe. But what fun is life without risks? I know my responsibilities. And I know how to stay in bounds of them. As long as she is safe, I can come close to dying. As long as I keep her safe.

Death's a bit too final... better watch out not to stray too close to these bounds.

Death can't stop me, and it doesn't much matter... I know when my time is. It's not now and it's not tomorrow. So, I'm livin' to the fullest.

How do you know? Still, living to the fullest so you have nothing to regret when time comes... yeah, sounds right.

The same way I know my love is the only woman I will ever love this deeply.

Is that what you mean in your sig too, then?
She's definitely lucky to have someone who loves her that much.

She is why I made that "sig." She is why I stopped to feel. She is why I now understand. And I love her all the more for it.

Heh, i've wondered about that line... Makes sense now.
