Prologue
It was the day, I shall never forget.
This is the air I breathe
This is the air I breathe
Your holy presence living in me
This is my daily bread
This is my daily bread
Your very word spoken to me
Today was the day of my parents funeral, and my dearest friend Kagome Higurashi's father as well. You see, my class was performing a play of the Celestial Maiden, Kagome being the maiden and I being one of her servants. Her father was picking my mother and father up to take them to the play, on their way to it though, they got into a car accident, no one survived.
And I, I'm desperate for you
And I, I'm lost without you
So here I was, beside my best friend and her family, my parents and I were the last of the Matsu family, and now, I was the only one left. As we sat, listening to the priest as he spoke of my parents, Kagome grabbed my left hand, while Sota leaned against me on my lap. It was funny how a baby like Sota knew that I needed comfort.
This is the air I breathe
This is the air I breathe
Your holy presence living in me
This is my daily bread
This is my daily bread
Your very word spoken to me
As the caskets lowered into the ground, I gently put Sota into Kagome's arms before standing up and walking over to the holes in which my parents now lay, I sniffled a little, trying to hold back the tears as I tossed two of the roses into each hole.
And I, I'm desperate for you (I'm desperate for you)
And I, I'm lost without you (I'm lost without you)
And I, I'm desperate for you (I'm desperate for you)
And I, I'm lost without you (I'm lost without you)
(I'm lost without you, lost without you)
I watched as the flowers descended onto the caskets, before kneeling down and grabbing a hand full of dirt and do the same thing as I did with the flowers.
This is the air I breathe
This is the air I breathe
Your holy presence living in me
"Bye mommy." my voice cracked. "Bye daddy."
Just like that, the gates to my tears broke free, sending tidal waves tears pouring out my eyes, the pain inside my heart was unbearable.
And I, I'm desperate for you (I'm desperate for you)
And I, I'm lost without you (I'm lost without you)
And I, I'm desperate for you (I'm desperate for you)
And I, I'm lost without you (I'm lost without you)
(I'm lost without you, lost without you)
What am I going to do now without you? I asked the stones as people began to leave. "How?"
At that, I felt a hand on my shoulder, looking up, I saw Mrs. Higurashi looking down at me with sad eyes, but a smile on her face.
"You are going to stay with us Maemi." she told me.
"Yeah Mimi!" Kagome said as she came to the two of us with her grandpa following, holding Sota.
"Indeed, the Higurashi and Saigo family have been together for a hundred years, and we are not about to stop it now!" Mr. Higurashi said, nodding his head.
I looked to each and one of the Higurashi family and smiled. So, I am not really alone mom, dad…. But I will still miss you a bunch!
For I am convinced that neither death nor life,
nor angels nor principalities nor things present nor things to come,
nor powers, nor height nor depth, nor any other created thing,
Will be able to separate us from the love of God which is in Christ Jesus our Lord
