Disclaimer: Escaflowne isn't mine. O well. My friend and I have the whole series, though, if that counts for anything!!
A/N: My second Escaflowne poem… this one's Van's POV about Hitomi, too. Van Fanel is a hot man!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Anyways, this poem takes place after the end of the movie. That last scene is such an abrupt ending, but it's preeeeeeeeeeeetty… well, read and enjoy!!
Sunset
"And if you turned around to see me and I was gone, should have looked outside your window 'cause the sun was coming up." Michelle Branch
All I did was turn around
And suddenly you're gone
Vanished
Into the fading sunset
And I know you've gone back home
Back where you belong
Yet at the same time
I can't help but longing for you
Reaching out
Hoping to catch your hand in mine
Wishing for you to stay
Here with me
'cause with you I know
I'm never alone
And one day I know
I may find peace
But somewhere in my heart
I can't help but want you here
Even though I know you're gone
All I had to do was turn around
Away from the fading sunset
For you to fade away from me, too
But maybe someday
I'll turn around
And you'll be back
Returning as quickly as you left
Am I hoping for too much?
Maybe so
But all I had to do
Was turn away once
Away from the fading sunset
With the sunrise will you be back?
I'll never know
I can only hope
Though I know you're gone
Back home where you belong
I turned around and you were gone
Like the sun
But the sun rises again
And every time I see the sun
You'll be on my mind
And maybe, just maybe
You'll rise back into my arms
