~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~
A/N – This is the first poem I have written in quite a while so understand if it sucks. It is in Tifa's POV, written when Cloud is sick in Mideel. Review plz! Need to know if I can actually write poems or not!
~*~
You've always been near to me
My entire life you've been here
But eventually everyone must go away
All this time I never knew
How much I really needed you
And now it's too late to stay
We never knew the bond we held
How close our lives intertwined
It took losing you to realise
Just what Id been trying to find.
Now, 7 years later, I'm beside you
Seeing you ill, lost and confused
Making me know what I stand to lose
They say you wont recover
How could I forget and love another?
How could I live alone?
Your eyes dominate my mind
Your face reminds me of home
Your smile shows the boy deep inside
The boy I knew and adored
Even though I was too shy to say
I grew used to seeing you around
Until the day you went away.
I missed you every minute.
For some reason we weren't close,
But fate drew us together.
You promised to be my hero,
A promise you keep from years ago.
You don't know you're doing it
You save me from myself.
You became my reason to live,
To breathe, to fight, to love.
You are my reminder of my past
My thoughts and strength at the moment
My every dream and hope for the future.
You were my childhood fascination
A lifelong object of affection.
How could I find another equal to you?
My love for you keeps breaking through
Advice, common sense and logic
None could ever block it.
I know you love another with all that you are
But destiny wont let me leave.
Even now, I should be fighting.
But this bond keeps me by your side.
Look at you now.
It breaks my heart.
All my other worries are set apart.
You sit and speak but don't know what you say
You can't stand or respond
You don't recognise me at all.
Somewhere in there is the Cloud Strife I love
Who would help us all as much as he could
But who can help you?
The doctor tells me there is no hope
But there is hope, has to be hope.
Without hope where would we be?
As long as I breathe, you will too
We are connected with unexplainable bonds
Unbreakable bonds
I will stay here by your side
Forever, if I must.
You bring my life meaning
Without you, half a soul will stop caring.
Half a heart will stop loving.
Half a mind will ache forever.
Just like half a person, one of us is useless without the other.
We are too close to be apart.
Without you I wouldn't have got this far.
This isn't love between us, although I love you with my life.
It's destiny; you are my soulmate
The only one I could truly connect with
Maybe this is a test for me.
Fate is cruel but surely not cruel enough
To tear you away with so much unsaid?
For you know nothing of my feelings.
I am still the shy little girl
Living so close yet afraid to reach to you
One day I will finally reach you.
Until then I pray our time doesn't run out
Before we can find each other.
I can wait forever.
My love will never die.
It is part of me.
Although you are confused of who you are
I can see it inside your eyes
You are still the same little boy I knew
But this man I see now may never grow old
Never find peace with himself
I'm trying to be strong, but I can't be
Without you helping me.
But I must. You need me now.
Just as I needed you so many times.
Please pull through; I need you so much.
While our destiny together fights the cruel fate which attacks our future,
I'll be here for you.
I'll be here forever
By your side
Where I belong…
