"Don't say it…"

She hesitated as she looked at the familiar face.

"I do though…"

Her eyes threatened to overflow as she gazed upon her old friend, "I do too…"

"It's alright… I will be ok. And so will you"

They were the words of a best friend, a childhood confidante and perhaps the soul-mate we all search for but seldom find…

So they stood underneath the shade of the trees on that brilliant sun kissed afternoon, as the breezy summer air blew as carefree as always.
Yet their spirits hitched and snapped like strings of crippled kites that could never fly away into the forgetful blue… far from the conventions of the world.

The filtered sun rays peeked through the leaves and hit their faces as they gazed upon each other for what would perhaps be the last time in their lives…

She gently kissed her on the cheek and let her lips carelessly brush against the side of her small mouth as she smiled that old familiar smile.
A smile bittersweet, laced with tear stains, regret …and the pain of not knowing.

When she finally found the strength to turn around and leave, she watched her walk down to the end of the road …and slowly disappear to a place where her eyes could not follow her anymore.



It takes courage to confess your love at times and perhaps even more so to admit it to yourself. Yet time and tide waits for none… and they walk out of our lives leaving nothing but memories to cling on to… ~
I have been meaning to write a girl/girl pairing for a while now inspired by so many boy/boy pairings out there. I can’t really do boy/boy, so I did this instead and it turned out pretty well, I think…?

This piece is dedicated to :iconsasukeavenged: and :iconkira-akira-hime:- two very dedicated cosplay artists! I loooovvveeess u guys :heart::heart: ~ hope you will like it!:love::love:

The italicized words and letters are meant for the second individual.
I have tried to keep it simple yet erm… brilliant? *preens self* :giggle:

I have drawn a little from my own experience and the rest is just my creative genius! ^^

This is in no way related to any known person, in my knowledge at least.

Reading/Interpretation:

Sometimes the things that we look for the most are right in front of us…but we hardly notice or even pretend not to notice for the fear of being an outcast, and go on to live our lives being a stranger to ourselves…

The title 'Kites are meant to Fly' is directly related to a line in the text where their spirits/souls were compared to 'crippled kites' ~ as in, they have compromised on the 'live-ability' of life, and will forever walk the mundane path, incapacitated of their destiny to fly (living life to the fullest).

It was also partly inspired by the book/movie - 'The Kite-Runner' - where the two half brothers are often seen flying kites in the bleak landscape of Kabul (Afghanistan), which was later destined to be entrenched in war and extremism.~ again drawing ref. to the loss of freedom.

where her eyes could not follow her anymore - the final separation, where the distance between their hearts becomes too great for love to bridge...

all the reference to the sun and air and nature ~ is suggestive of how world goes on oblivious to the pain of human suffering (v.v. lit. - I knw...)
