Author's Note: Once again, I am back after a very long period of absence. I apologize for that, but I only ever write when I'm in the mood for it. Thus why I only ever write one/two-shots so I don't leave readers hanging. Speaking of one-shots, I have another Shigatsu wa Kimi no Uso poem for you guys! I just watched the OVA for the series, which was released in May, today (yes New Year's Eve) and I decided to follow up She Was Like the Snow with another poem, simply for finality. This poem is writen in the perspective of Emi towards Kousei, but at times it's written from Kousei's perspective towards Kaori. I leave the deciding up to you. So anyway, let's get on with it.
Summary: "So far ahead you press on, and yet, here am I. Reaching. Longing. Barely keeping up. Take me with you, let me see sights I have never seen. Let me go places I have never been. Let me stay by your side, as long as I can." A Poem surrounding Kousei Arima.
So far ahead you press on
And yet,
Here I am
Reaching
Longing
Barely keeping up
Take me with you
Let me see sights I have never seen
Let me go places I have never been
Let me stay by your side,
As long as I can
Until you pull ahead,
Leaving me only to dream
Dream
This is all I can do
In the dust of your wake
I try again
Second
Third
Second
Third
Am I never good enough?
Hours on hours on hours
Again and again and again
Realize I'm trying
Slow down for me
Don't let me stay here
with all the other's you've abandoned
But you don't even realize it
You just walk on
Down the cherry blossom covered path
Show me the colors you showed me before
Return to the way you were
Water turned to ice
Flesh and blood to steel and volts
From free to confined in that cage we call perfection
Break free, I'm begging you
This isn't the you I once knew
At the end of it all
You always knew
The end was approaching
A person's one and only chance to catch up.
But is it all that fair?
Winning only after the lead falls?
I stay behind
And I guess I knew all along too
Even so
So far ahead you press on
And yet,
Here I am
Reaching
Longing
Barely keeping up
Take me with you
Let me see sights I have never seen
Let me go places I have never been
Let me stay by your side,
As long as I can
Until you pull ahead
Leaving me only to dream
Dream, and hope, and wish
That the you I once knew will come back to me.
