Facing Forward

To face death. They cry out as I knew they would, but they don't understand what I do.

They break my heart, but still I smile. I die this day, it is my time.

I break their hearts today.

A favor for a friend, a child, an heir I've yet to have.

I cherish the pain they show for me, for it means they love me, and I smile. They'll never forget, I'll never forget.

"Eriol!" they cry.

"Clow!" I hear.

I've done this before.

"Good night, Nakuru, Suppi." They gasp at those names.

They are sealed, I am gone.
