There I was in uniform
Looking at the air sifu
I was just a girl then;
Never have I loved since then
He was sixteen years older than I was
He had taken our class to the Southern Air Temple
He asked us who our favourite airbender was,
But never could I tell it was him
Oh, I wish I could tell him —
Oh, then one day I told him
I looked at Monk Pasang and Tashi
I liked Monk Gyatso and Yangchen
He told me he liked Aang
Never have I forgotten since then
No, never have I turned to any other man
All this having been said,
I’ve married the last airbender, a councilman
All this having been done, Avatar Aang - he’s my father-in-law
Here I am in this uniformish, Acolyte sort of thing,
Thinking of the air sifu
I was just a girl then;
Never have I loved since then
No, never have I loved any other man
Hi, there! I’m Pema, and I’m an Air Acolyte!
My teacher is Master Tenzin, and he’s the weirdest, coolest person I’ve ever met.
The older Acolytes tell me not to speak to strangers, but I really like meeting new people. Wanna talk?
