Love is war,
That's who we are,
Love is war,
And it keeps hurting.
Love is war,
For our hearts,
Love is war,
It keeps tearing us apart.

It started as a battle,
For freedom,
Against tyranny.
And became it something greater,
It broke so many.

Love is war,For all of us,
Love is war,Filled with blood-lust,
Love is war,How far will you go?
Love is war,For those you value and know.

There was never peace,It was just an illusion,You let me suffer, Yet then you loved like no other,I guess we were too naïve to see,How broken this place can be.

And you sing with me,
The words so beautiful and dearly,

Love is war,
And you're my soldier,

Love is war,
I wish it lasted longer,

Love is war,
I'm still holding on,

Love is war,
Please you can't be gone.

The sun is rising on the meadows,
Her colours remind me of fire,
How in the wind, the flames blow,
We were enemies just prior.

The eyes of evergreen,
Belonged to the villain,
Now they're soothing me,
As I'm taken by death.

You promised you'd come and find me,
Don't break it, I'm waiting patiently.

- Love is War, by Netheriea

I just wanted to give a big thank you to my friend for this wonderful poem she wrote for my book and the most special girl in my life, Naeun, whom you all know as "Samantha".

Yes, she is the main inspiration for the kind, loving, beautiful, and fierce sharp shooter of L'Manburg. How "Samantha" was written, is exactly who she was, lovely isn't she? Mhm. She loved to write as well, in her little pocket book, writing how her day went in a Poem-way.

I once asked, "Why do you need to write EVERY memory you make?"

She smiled at me and said, "Because I don't want to forget you."

That time, it was confusing and a bit weird but now that I look back at it. Funny how it now became "So I don't forget you, Naeun."

Naeun has passed away almost 3 years ago. In memory of her, I dedicated a book for her and I once again thank my friend, Netheriea, for fulfilling a wish of her's to have a poem for her.

Thank you as well, everyone <3
