This is not meant to be poetic, however its written in a letter poem style. This is my goodbye letter to Bleach that has been sitting on my computer since the manga ended.

There are many things that I want to be thankful for

Maybe about how long it will last

Perhaps if I shall write, then I shall write about the past

To the book of white and the author of contrast I raise my glass

I raise my glass for the years you have given me

The questions

The answers

I raise my glass

And poor it out at the men who are dropping you.

15 years strong and two months to end

While few can say, it's been good all the way through

It's good enough to stay

So why, pray tell, must you leave?

Why must you take away the black and white,

The death and shadow,

And the hollows screams

You have promised a story

And that is what you gave

A story of 15

A story of a strawberry

A story of parallels and betrayal

It has been a story,

A story that will live on
