Why

Why?
Why must you leave me?
I don't want you to go
After all that I have went through
To save you

I tried to save you numerous times
To prevent a horrible fate that can change you forever
And yet, you end up giving in
And lose tragically to a witch so powerful
That you just died instantly

On that moment
You died in front of me
I was helpless
Weak as to not know what I must do
I had to do something
Seriously

I have to make amends with the Incubator
A wish I made was to go back
Where it all started
The moment when you were alive
I got my wish
I finally gain the ability of a magical girl
Thus I went back again
Through time

I have to stop you
For accepting that contract
I have to
Why, you ask?
Because, I care so much about you
I was afraid of losing you over and over again
I feared of losing someone that I hold dearly to me
I cannot imagine the same scenery all over again
To picture you
Dead in my sight
Is horrifying

That one time
When you were turned to a witch
My heart sank into a devastating place
That other time when you were about to be a witch
I can't have it
I won't allow it
I put an end to it
A harsh move on my part
That's a moment I cannot allow to happen

Yes, you mentioned to me
At a time before your death
Not to allow the Incubator to pursue that wish
That you would regret
That was a promise
I must accept
Before... I had to kill you
Painful, but true
And thus, I went back in time

I keep traveling back in time
Stopping you from accepting a contract
For you to make a wish
And end up in despair
Is not worth going for

I have always met you
Through the timelines
But those scenarios
Turned out differently

I tried to keep that Incubator
From making you a magical girl
I tried so much
Telling you not to do this
I keep telling you
Not to get involved
I didn't want you to run into serious trouble
I didn't want you to suffer the same fate
Just like me and your friends
But...it was too late

The moment where I was about to face defeat
I was nearly about to go back in time
To reset, start all over
Start from scratch
Suddenly, you appeared and ended up saving me
And then, you ended up taking the contract
Realizing everything that I told you
Your senses came back to you
You know what the real deal was about
You told me that I have done enough
And then
You took over my spot
I asked myself...
...why?

Why?
Why did you become a magical girl?
Why did you accept the Incubator?
Why...just why...
...Madoka...
Your wish
Not only saved those that are suffering from the same fate
But you put your existence on the line
You saved the world through your wish
Hoping for a better world

On that moment, you were leaving me
Your life on earth has ceased to exist
You are leaving the world behind
Without anyone remembering you
You are leaving everything behind
Including your family
And the lives of people that known you
No…just no…
I don't want you to go
I want you...to stay with me
I want you to be with me
I want you because... I cared about you
I worked my way into saving you
After going through a lot of trouble
And you mean to tell me...
You are leaving this world, nonexistent?
Its...it's not fair
It's not fair
At all

You never said goodbye to me
You said that you would see me again
Even though you are in my memory
My heart knows that I will get back with you
When the time comes
My world has no existence of the others
Those have fallen as witches
But for you, Madoka
I have prevented you from turning into one
I may have saved you
But I was unable to get you back
As of now
I can only move forward
Continuing to fight more witches
I was unable to save the other three
A selfish move on my part
They didn't matter to me
Why?
For you, Madoka
I did it...for you...
...no one else...
...but you.

My mind will always be on you Madoka
Fictional as some would say, you still exist in my heart
I will never forget you at all
No matter what
As I remember those words...
...You are not alone
