Wishing you were here

As I was listening to “Wishing You Were Somehow Here Again,” I thought about doing a poem about Mana’s feelings about Mahado’s death.

As I was listening to "Wishing You Were Somehow Here Again," I thought about doing a poem about Mana's feelings about Mahado's death.

Wishing you were here

I can't believe this

You are really dead

I never thought this would happen

Not this early, anyway

I miss you…so much

You were everything to me

You were my mentor

And my friend

You taught me magic

And was patient when I messed up

Which was a lot

You treated me like a daughter

No one had ever done that to me before

Now you are gone

I miss you more than anything

I know you did what you had to do

That you were protecting the tomb

And trying to trap Bakura

But…

It's hard to believe that at times

I try to believe that there were other ways to go

That there were other ways

That didn't include your death

But I know the truth;

There were no other choices

The road you choose…

Was the only road that was available

Even thought I know that…

I still wish that you were here

Life seemed so simple with you around

You always had the right answers

I don't know how I'll ever get along without you

But…that doesn't mean that I won't try

I will overcome this tragedy

And continue to study magic

As if you were still here

Besides…

You are not truly gone

You will continue to live on

In my mind and heart

But still…

There will be times when I will say…

"Wishing you were here"
