LIFE AND DEATH: TO RIKA AND GUILMON

by milesprower06

--------------------------------------------------------------------

A/N: While in my brief 'poetry phase', I thought of the three months in between my two connected story arcs; Loss and Gain, and Life and Death, and some of the things Renamon tried initially to help him. Somewhere along the line, she suggests that Takato write out his thoughts to them. So here's what I came up with. Enjoy.

-------------------------------------------------------------------

Guilmon, I think of all the adventures we had

That day I drew you outside class, of that I'm glad

Rika, I remember all the times we shared

Even back when fighting was your only care

Guilmon, I remember when you first Digivolved – boy what a sight

I must admit, at first you gave me quite a fright

Rika, I remember when you helped me when Guilmon couldn't be found

I was so happy that you had finally come around

Guilmon, I remember when we faced Mahiramon; I felt every hit

He asked how you Digivolved; he threw quite the fit

Rika, I remember in the Digital World, when we were all scattered apart

And I wrote to our families; and in yours, oops, I put a heart

Guilmon, I remember when we Biomerged, wow what a feeling

We had the battle won; at our feet Beelzemon was kneeling

Rika, I remember when I said I liked your new shirt

Although I'm not sure if that could be considered a flirt

Guilmon, I remember our last fight together down in that tomb

You pushed me out of the way, saving me from certain doom

Rika, I remember you were there for me, right at my bedside

You helped me to grieve; you held me when I cried

I remember you helped me sleep again; just by holding my hand

That fateful night in the store, we were dealt a bad hand

Rika, Guilmon; I love you with all my heart

I'll never forget you; of me you'll always remain a part
