Author's Note: This is my first attempt at posting poetry, and I consider myself a far better fic author than a poet. I would appreciate it if you didn't hold my poem over an open flame, though. :D



You told me that you would disappear.

I was standing in awe, but I had to go on

Dispatching the aeons fight after fight

Every pyrefly that rose destroyed my will to be strong.


I told you that I loved you.

You just stared at me with your mouth agape

While I had my back turned, I started crying for you

I felt you holding me -- trying to wait.


You said that you were fading.

That you were a dream; a figment of imagination

And that's when you jumped off the airship and left

That's all I thought of during the celebration.


I told you I would whistle.

Whenever I needed you badly, I would call

So I stood there for hours trying to whistle

The water didn't ripple at all.


You told me I didn't have to go on.

I dissolved in your arms, crying as hard as I could

So now I pretend that you're here, even if you never were

Every day I grieve and cry -- I don't know if I should.


I told you that I loved you

And you never replied...

You just stared at me, you didn't even smile

Maybe that was the reason why I cried.


I told you that I loved you...

... and you didn't even say a word to me...
