Oakpaw
Heart beats fast
Colors and promises
How to be brave
How can I love when I'm afraid to fall
But watching you stand alone
All of my doubt suddenly goes away somehow
-----
Oakpaw sat in camp, shoulder hunched over his head, snow swirling around him. "Why?" he said to himself. "Mother always said love was going to be hard, but I never expected it to be like this." Heatherpaw ... she was his day and night, his sun and moon, the leaf to his branch. And yet she couldn't see it. She could see how every breath he took, was for her. And every beat of his heart, was for her. No, not yet, but one day he'd show her. He'd show her all the pain and misery. And maybe then, perhaps, hopefully they could have a normal life together.
No cat in HawkClan could have a normal life, though. His parents were most likely the most normal cats there, yet they both had another litter with a recent mate. Oakpaw was Spottedcloud's second litter, as well as Nightclaw. And his aunt, Whitetail, she had uncountable mates. But hopefully, he and Heatherpaw could be the one to break this trend. And maybe they could run away and start a family oneday...

I have died everyday waiting for you
Darling don't be afraid I have loved you
For a thousand years
I'll love you for a thousand more
Time stands still
Beauty in all she is
I will be brave
I will not let anything take away
What's standing in front of me
Every breath
Every hour has come to this
