We were modern warriors dressed in grime but we were unhappy with where we were. We found ourselves ducking behind enemy barricades and had our chance to go against the non believers and jump to the other side and damn ourselves with our traitor action. We were oppressed and needed change. We begged for the pleasant jingle of it even.
We had dirt smeared faces and yet I could still see her eyes. They sparkled like deep September sapphires. We were prepared for this. Bombs landed feet away from us and smoke and dust filled our lungs. We stared into each others eyes one last time before we were to make our decision. I made the first move. I swung my legs over the wall and landed on the other side to snide remarks and accusing fingers from the enemy. I turned back to the wall and could see through a crack her face. She asked me "Where are we at and where do we go from here". I pondered the question and when the answer came to me I turned back and said, "I am here and you are there. Whether you join me here or stay there is no difference to me as long as the decision you make is the one you really have made". It was at that moment that things became blurry. We were under attack and I took cover in enemy bunkers. After the chaos of the sudden bombardment of bombs I went out to find her.
It's been days since...
