"Do you think," I asked her, "there are some people who are connected? People that fate decided would stay together, one way or another? No matter how long you've been apart, or how long you haven't talked, when you meet again, it will be as if all has perpetuated, as if you still had the same connection you once did?" -"I don't know, I have never...", She said, before I interrupted her. "I have. I will have her." -"You are an idiot Paris, you will never have her." She screamed, as he walked away from Aphrodite.
The water as well as the wind slash my hands and face as I trail my hand through the surface of the little creek that breaks up the garden. The sun is still young, and leers lowly over the hills in the distance. The sky as if the blue was fighting the orange hue of the sun. The lights of the cottage house are still out, there is no light, no noise, nothing but peace. I return inside to a warm cup of tea, and almost completely forget about her for just a minute.
"I'm sorry, but I cannot choose you, Hera. You are not the most beautiful woman." He spoke, as she trailed her hand alongside his face. - "Prince, I offer you reign of all of Europe's richness. Of all its women and gold, even Asia I will present you." She pleaded him. "I cannot lie to your husband, he will end me. Zeus does not take lightly to a liar." Although her face could not hide her lament, she let him go, and dropped into the warm waters of Mount Ida again. -"She is such a drag." Athena said, as she emerged from the hot waters. "To offer you a kingdom!" She jestingly went on, "My Paris, I offer you all knowledge in the world. To eat the fruit of knowledge, is my gift to you. Your name will be known in all populations, everyone will speak of the great Paris of Troy. Your battles will forever be victorious, not one drop of blood of your army will spill on itself. I will make it so that..." "Athena, please." He argued, "I care not for glory in battle, or fame across the realm or endless knowledge. I will not lie to your husband for you." -"He still hasn't learned, sister." she exclaimed, fiendishly glancing at Hera. -"Leave him be and rejoin me." Only a few rocks away, Aphrodite sat perched on a protruding rock, drying from the hot spring, gazing over Troy. "Are you not going to try to convince me like your sisters did, Aphrodite?" -"There is no need for that, my fair Paris. I already have what you seek, and I will give it to you, if you tell Zeus that you truly think I am the prettiest." "I don't seek gold or glory, I already am a prince. What could you possibly give me?" -"I will give you what you've always wanted, I will give you her. Helena will be yours." "I guess it is true after all, you are the most beautiful woman, in all of the worlds."
She's perfect. Her eyes, they always make my head go crazy. When she speaks, I can't help but stare. She makes my mind wander on endlessly when I look at her. I've been walking for almost two hours now, and I still cannot get her out of my head.
I'm gonna break down these walls I built around myself.
I wanna fall so in love, (so in love) with you, and no one else,
Could ever mean half as much, to me as you do now.
Together we'll move on, just don't turn around,
Let the walls break down.
