Sad Realization





I can't help it

They just keep coming

My tears just won't stop

My cheeks stained every night

As the memories come before me



I'll never forget the way he looked at me

As I floated up away from Gaia

I felt happy but sad

All at the same time



As I neared my home planet

I realize it just isn't fair

I didn't want to leave him

But I couldn't leave my life on Earth



His beautiful eyes

Starring into mine

That thought never left my mind

"Hitomi"

That was the last word I heard

From his kind and gentle voice



There was nothing I could do

I knew I would never be with him

So even to this day

I've kept my promise

Never to forget that boy

The boy I fell in love with

So long ago
