After All This Time
After all this time
I remember your face.
I can envision your auburn hair
Your large, violet eyes,
Your blinding smile,
Your countless freckles,
Your carefree laugher.
Here I lay in the darkness
Bound in the clutches
Of a great and terrible evil
Planning to take over the world
To use my wood-style technique
For their plans to unravel.
It is very likely I won't survive,
And it is you who appears
Your voice that speaks
In my mind.
After all this time,
After all these years
Since I have last seen you,
You are somehow still
A beacon of light
In my darkness.
You yourself had lived in the darkness
All your life in fear of the wind,
Having dreamt of the sun
With your brother
Your family
Your dying clan.
And so did I.
Our time was brief
But it was you who had brought
My humanity back.
It was you who gave me
A name that had mattered.
It was you who had taught me
How to look for fun.
It was you who made me realize
That I can protect someone.
For others I am Yamato
But in my heart
I am your Tenzo
And there never has been
And now never will be
Another woman
That I wanted more.
Stay safe, Yukimi,
Wherever you are
Even after all this time
I love you
And hope you have found
What you were looking for...
Though I wish...
You were here...
So I can feel your spirit...
Take over my body...
To feel you within me...
Just...once...more...
