The Death of Pikachu

By Lekarian

When I close my eyes and lie myself to sleep

I think about how I treated you that night

Was I fair with you?

Did I dream of you when you were alive?

It feels like euphoria to me now.

I miss your stubbornness and your pride

Your unwillingness to accept defeat in the heat of battle

Your determination gave me inspiration when I was weak

And that's why I always pushed you. So I could be strong with you.

It feels like euphoria to me now.

But when you fell against that attack

I didn't think that you were really gone.

I thought it was just another lesson

We just had to figure it out like we always did

It feels like euphoria to me now.

But it wasn't, you weren't moving

I saw your neck it didn't look right

The other trainer said, "Is it okay?"

I ran to your side with tears in my eyes

It feels like euphoria to me now.

I didn't think this could happen again

Wouldn't it turn out like it had before?

With you and me making it through that door?

But back then it felt like it just shut in my face.

It feels like euphoria to me now.

You were always there

Misty, Brock, Tracy

To Pewter, To Celadon

, Saffron, Fuchsia and beyond.

It feels like euphoria to me now.

It just feels. Gone.
