AN: This is my first published piece. Constructive reviews would be greatly appreciated, since I plan on writing more. I don't know Japanese so some of the words may not be spelled right. I am truly sorry about that.

Disclaimer: I don't own Escaflowne or the song they played at the end of it. Which is the one I am using here.

I wish… If only…

If I could control time. If I could see the future…

Namida ga ato kara afuredashite

Saigo no egao ga nijinde mienai no

I would tell you before they called me back…

Ikanaide ikanaide koko ni ite

Before they called me back to a place you can never go and I can never leave.

Sora e hikari kakenukete yuku

Konna ni chiisa na watashi dakedo

Anata wo dare yori sei ippai aishita

Sometimes I wish I never went there, wish I never met you, wish I had never fallen…

But I remember the way you protected me, and your smile…

And your eyes…

Arigatou ikutsumo no

Taisetsu no kimochi

Tewata shite kureta yo ne

I never believed in that saying until I met you…

And looked into your eyes.

"sono toki zutto watashi wa

Eyes are the windows to the soul

kie kaketa hikoukigumo wo mite ita…"

During the day…

It's hard, but I try, because of my friends and my family…

Because of you

Wasurenaide

Hitori ja nai

Hanarete mo te wo tsunaide iru

But at night…

It's impossible…

When I'm awake I think of you, but when I sleep…

I dream of us

Hajimete no koi hajimete shitta

Konna kanashimi ga aru koto

But remembering you I have courage.

Nanika ga shoumetsu shite mo nanika ga

Fatatabi yadotte

I will live my life here,

Dreaming of you.

Wakare ni kureta hohoemi wa tsuyoku ikiyou to yuu

Anata kara no messejii

I will live and wait,

But don't worry, I won't waste my life.

Itsu kitto aeru

Futari naraba

For when we meet again…

Tookutemo hitomi mitsumeau

And we will…

Kibou to yume no subete o kakete

We will finish that day and be together,

Like it should have been.

Yakusoku wo shiyou yo

Ano hi no hageshisa wo

Daite

I'll love no other but you…

Ashita saku mirai wo ikiru

Van…
