Summoner's Tears, Gunner's Ecstasy
The eternal cry on an ocean of lost dreams. The wail of sadness lingers in the moments before dawn. But for some, the sun will never break morning. For me, the glowing orb of surreal light is an illusionary happiness. It doesn't matter; we're apart.
How long have I suffered in your absence? I need you to live, and I cry. I cry because I have nothing to live for now, but I am still alive. I want to die! I want to be with you, even if it means death.
My duties to the people are important now, I guess. I'll just do what is asked, and maybe if I don't question it, you'll come back. I'll wait in silence and duty until you find me.
A summoner in mourning for her lost love, broken heart, and crushed hope.
And then…
Or the brief tears shed before the joy of being alive becomes stronger. The light of tomorrow's promises fill the horizon. For other people, tomorrow is beautiful. For me, the faith in days to come glows as bright as the sun itself. It doesn't matter; we'll be together soon.
How long has it been since you faded? Even without you, I guess I can still smile. I laugh. I laugh because the memories of you that brought happiness will be with me forever. If I were dying, I would cry… I have so much to live for! I want to be with you, but not at the cost of what I have now.
I shed away the false jurisdiction that my duties had on me. If I just do what is asked, and I remain silent, how in the world could I find you then? I'll search in the midst of laughter and joy with my friends, and then when we find you, you can take part in the festivities. I will find you.
A gunner in ecstasy for her hopeful romance, prideful heart, and boundless hope.
