Disclaimer: I don't own this anime and I never will…in this reality anyhow.
Author's notes: I don't pretend to know everything on the Kenshin saga…I probably never will. But maybe I can still have some fun with things…grin. Hope you guys like this. This is from the episode in the series where Kenshin leaves Kaoru to go after Shishio. (please forgive any misspellings)
Fireflies…
The light went out in my eyes that night
The night that you said good-bye
A thousand hopes, a thousand dreams
Darkness closed in as I gave up and cried.
The innocence gone as swiftly as a sword being drawn.
I should have seen it coming I suppose;
Should have guessed you would leave, without knowing
That it tore me apart, left my heart in the dirt, washed clean with tears.
I didn't want you to go.
I didn't want to see you fight…to see what I saw in your eyes.
Why did you have to do this, my wanderer?
Wasn't what we had here enough?
Wasn't it enough to let the past stay in the past?
Wasn't I enough for you?
