I See You There

by Misty Rius

The sadness of your absence remains, but I know deep down that you're happy wherever you are. Like you said, I just need to look. A more optimistic take on the aftermath of Cosmo's death.

Author's Note: Normally, I don't like to write Romance; I'm not quite sure where I got the inspiration to write this. However, though it's not my usual style, I hope you enjoy this poem anyway.

Don't forget to read and review! No flames, please!

I don't own Sonic the Hedgehog

I sit here tonight

Depressed

Alone

Guilty

Dark memories continue to cloud my mind

My friends try to help; they say that I made the right choice

But how can the right choice feel so…wrong?

These kinds of thoughts have been plaguing me ever since the night I lost you

Or was it night? One never can tell in the middle of space

They keep me from sleeping, keep me

Depressed

Alone

Guilty

Then, like a miracle, the same assurance reaches me every time I glance out my window and look up

I look out at night, and I always see the moon

Or moonlit clouds

Or the stars

Or rain

Every time I look out and glance upward, there's always something

Giving off light

Or in motion

Or alive

Call me delusional, but I swear that I can see you

Your smile

Your eyes

The petals that surrounded you and accentuated your beauty in that white oblivion before we parted for seemingly the last time

I always see you in that light

In the life that few see in the darkness

Then, when you stop illuminating the the world, you illuminate my dreams

I see you there with everyone else

I feel assured

I realize that you're in a better place

Far beyond imagination

And that you're happier there

With these new thoughts in my mind, I lay back tonight

Optimistic

At peace

Content

I can't wait to see you again

What are we going to do tonight?
