I remember…
The day you and I,
Met.
The way your lips strung
Otherwise meaningless words
Into beautiful song.
The soft ruffle of your yukata,
Against your slender body,
And that sparkle in your eyes.
Eyes that shone with life;
Life in its true meaning,
That was hitherto unkown,
To me.
And for the first time,
I lived.
It was only a short time
But for me,
It seemed to last forever.
And then that day came…
The day I cradled you
In my arms,
And watched those helpless eyes,
Fill with tears.
The blood drained out of your body,
As color drained out of your face.
Seconds that felt like an eternity.
I heard your voice,
For the last time.
And for the first time,
Realized how much
You really mean to me…
I remember.
And I always will,
Saya…
