Disclaimer: I don't own Cowboy Bebop. But even if I did, I would keep it the way it is, down to the very last moment. Yes, we miss our cowboy. We wish he hadn't died. But it was a perfect ending…and that is what this fanfic is all about…
Goodnight
You flow like water
You really don't like theme parks
You hate kids, animals, and women with attitudes.
You can't live on carbohydrates alone.
You taught us not to leave things in the fridge.
You want beef in your Bell Peppers and Beef.
You have sympathy for the devil.
You live life like a kid with a toy.
You went to go see if you were alive
And came back with 'yes…'
You have one eye that sees the past
And is lost in those pages
One eye that looks into the future
And is lost in its possibilities
Somewhere in space
Where the parallel lines cross…
That's where you will be…
You've lived a thousand lives
Died a thousand deaths
Cried a thousand times
And still had time to smile…
We had a lot of good times
Chasing Wild Horses
We traveling performers
We prisoners of time
We radicals
We beatniks and pot gurus
We philosophers and fools
We lovers and fighters
We sinners and saints
We wasters of life and limb
We were a family
When we had none
Orphans of the world,
That built ourselves a home
So we wouldn't have to be food for the streets.
We loved each other
When no one else would.
We said we'd never leave each other.
But I guess fate is cruel…
So, goodnight, dear friend
You swimming bird
You old fashioned cowboy
You gaucho
You boy
You fallen angel
You renegade
You rebel without a cause
You gambler and rambler
You lunkhead
You lucky ace
You lucky bastard
You lover and loser
You two-eyed jack
You hero and zero
You tiger striped cat
You midnight dreamer
You immortal
You space cowboy
You faceless man just knocking on heavens door
Just to see if someone will answer…
Has someone answered…?
Goodnight, my dear friend,
I just know I'm gonna see you again
I know we've gotta meet again
Somewhere
Where parallel lines cross…
Because I know you can carry that weight…
Because I know its just a dream…
Because some stars are brightest as they are falling…
Goodnight, my friend.
