Always by Orenji Yume

A Kenichi one-shot poem

SPOILERS - Kenichi's thoughts on Tima...as a friend. Sorry if anyone seems OOC. Enjoy! Happy New Year to all!

DISCLAIMER: I do not own Metropolis.

From the start, she was my friend
Though she did not know anything
But she caught up really quickly
I'll always be with her till the end
As between us, there was something

There were many people chasing us
As to why, I wasn't totally sure
But my first instinct, was to run
Most of the time we're escaping, thus
Everything was so fast and a blur

But soon we were caught
The truth I knew faded before me
And another covered it all up
We now saw it, the truth we sought
It was unbelievable, how could this be?

So suddenly, she changed, so drastically
Yes, she was different, but I knew
The friend she was...was somewhere inside
All the pushing about came painfully
But I'm her friend...one of her few...

Yet I still lost her, though I was glad
She came to her senses before she fell
And her last words...hit me real hard
Finding parts of her afterwards was sad
But tears of joy inside my eyes did well

As I had just touched a glimmer of light
I felt that she was still alive and well in me
Crazy it may seem, but I'll show them all
When I rebuild her again, all day and night
Maybe...just maybe...I'll pray...and we'll see...

END
