Authoress' note: For those who have been reading my most current fanfiction 'Crimson Sweet', this is the original of the poem that I adapted and changed that appears in chapter8. Enjoy!
Dear Squall,
My heart feels heavy with something Not grief, no Maybe sorrow Or even regret
To let it go, to keep going A wish But you can't hear me You're not here You haven't been here for three months now Why did you accept that mission to Dollet?
It's cold And I miss your smile I don't even have the desire to move And I just sleep the time away Until you come home
I want to see you again Squall
Want you to tell me 'whatever'
While you entwine your gentle fingers in my hair
And whisper your love in my ear
I want to feel your pride and joy Your sadness, your grief I want to embrace all of you And be near you
So all I can do is stand here and fall away Tearing hope to shattered memories Slipping off the edge of the building To shadows with arms waiting
And into your arms As you run to catch me Console me with sweet words and kisses You're back now And the shadows are gone
All that's left is wings of white And whispers and moans As you prove to me your love Thank you, Squall For coming home
Ever yours,
Irvine
