Aeris' Wish
by TacomaSquall
Do not grieve for me,
I knew that a sacrifice
Would make my plea heard.
Cloud, find your freedom,
Now you are just a shadow -
Of who you can be.
You must escape from
The shadow of Nibelheim,
Sephiroth's power.
I do not love you,
I cannot love someone who
Does not know himself.
Someone does love you -
A woman who asks her knight
To defend the world.
You have your battle,
Just as I have mine today.
May we both triumph.
I know I will die
In my people's dead city -
Do not die with me.
