Is this love?

Song for my Les Misérables fanfic 'Not slaves anymore'.

Is this love?

Sung by Evi they day before the start of the revolution.

- Evi takes a seat on the windowsill of her apartment and looks down at the passing people on the street. There she spots a young couple and her mind flickers back to the time she used to dream of her Prince Charming and just like that Enjolras invades her mind. -

Evi (spotting the young couple below on the street):
“Look at them... So young and in love.
It won’t take long until they’ll release a wedding dove.
He’ll lose the count of sweet words to say,
She’ll stay with him forever and a day.
As if written by Shakespeare’s hand.
A story of love, this time with a happy end.

Yes, I too once had dreams like that.
Meet my prince who’d save me from the darkness that I met.
But the storms of life aren’t for childish fantasies to weather...”.

- Thoughts of a certain leader in red invade her mind. –

“I gave up on love ages ago.
So tell me dear God, how is it possible that this leader in red makes my heart flutter so?
Is it the way he smiles?, the sound of his voice?,
That makes me risk my life for him by choice?
Could it really be I found the one who holds my heart?
Or is it just a crush on a young girl’s part? “.
