I Promised Her I'd Wake Up
I'd promised her I'd wake up
But I fear it is not a promise to be kept
Through illness and insanity,
She cannot promise me the same
Bit by bit, less sand remains in her hourglass
She is all but unaware
Yet, she's accepted it, as is
She told me to promise her I'd awake
Tears in her eyes
She begged me
Yet, she waits for death
The very sleep she may never awake from
The very sleep she made me promise I would never allow to take me
Yet, she cannot promise the same
I promised her I'd wake up
What would happened to her if I cannot keep that promise?
Dammit!
Why do you make me keep a promise that may not be kept, Reimu?
I'm sorry I almost went to where you could not yet follow
And that is why you made me promise you
Yet, you cannot promise me the same
Don't leave before me Reimu, please!
Don't let them take you
Please don't
I promised her I'd wake up
I woke up, Reimu, see?
I woke up, just like I promised
I can only hope you let it go now
To keep that promise would be impossible
Unless one of our hourglasses have finished
Before the other
I'd promised her I'd wake up
