She weeps for him.

She loves him.

He could be considered a martyr,

He's dying for them.

Although she was given the power to see and hear farther than most,

All she sees is the smoke from Jet's rockets and all she hears is her labored breathing.

She thinks.

She muses.

"Joe, please don't die,

Please let Jet save you,

I love you, I need you

Stay with me."

The baby in her arms begins to move as one of his eyes shines,

Is everything going to be alright?


Falling.

He's falling.

This must be the end,

This must be what it's like to die.

He's defeated the villain,

He's been the hero,

But at what cost?

He'll never see her again.

Francoise.

Jet grabs on to him, asking where he wants to land,

He doesn't answer, he just thinks to himself.

"Koishii, I'm sorry I never said my feelings,

That'll be my only regret leaving this life.

I love you and I wanted to be by your side,

Forgive me."

As he and Jet loose consciousness a blue light surrounds them.

Is everything going to be alright?


The years have passed,

Though not uneventfully.

They're together now,

Raising the baby that made it possible.

Both still remember the day they almost lost each other,

But they don't live in the past.

Everything is as it should be.

Everything is alright.


Ayase: Well A.R. is back after a long period of not posting anything! I'm writing still, I just don't like a lot of stuff. But I do have some Cyborg 009 stuff on the way.



Anyway although I'm not too fond of this poem I think it should be posted. It came about in the middle of review during class today, on a subject that's been beat into my head for years, so I just started trying to write. Most of it came about though when I thought back to this conversation I had about martyrs and the fact I'm mainly working in this fandom lately. By the way, I haven't seen the last episode yet, no time between school activities and pure laziness.

Also regarding the title, Daijoubu in Japanese means both "It's alright" and "Are you alright?" I believe, I wouldn't trust a teenage girl who only knows this from J-Pop and fanfics. Yeah…
