I never knew…

The day I left…how you pleaded, those precious tears of yours…staining your angelic face…

I never knew…

Selfishly, searching for my purpose…I turned my back on you…and disappeared. Blind and hard-hearted…maybe of fear, or just pure confusion…I was oblivious of your love. Right there, in front of me…I failed to see.

I never knew…

How you wished to keep me save…from danger…I regarded it with irritation. Your smile…I shunned it away. Believe…trust…dependence…all that you radiated…

I never knew…

I was angry at you…you never seemed to leave me alone…every where…you shadowed me…I was vexed…but you never ceased to smile. Even when I hurt you countless time…you stuck by me…

I never knew…that you were there…

My eyes are not even worthy of seeing you…my whole self are not worthy of your touch. More than what I could remember, you comforted me…in times of sadness…in times of reluctance. You asked none in return…not at least in words…but I…was too blinded in my despair…

I never knew…that you were there…

You make me feel light…comfortable…loved…honored…everything anyone could ever dreamt of. You are my strength…my hope…my love…

I never knew…that you were there…but it's too late...

Away from you I started to dwindle…away from you I cried inside…away from you…everything was abysmal

I never knew…that you were there…but it's too late...

When I woke up…I saw your face, still smiling…even through the ordeal you are going through…I ran back towards you…but no matter how desperately…I could not reach you. I screamed for you to come back…I dug the deepest hole…flew the highest skies…swam the widest oceans…but you never came back.

I never knew…that you were there…but it's too late...

You couldn't come back…I remember that day…when the orphanage was ambushed, you still hoped for me…how your face lighted up upon seeing me…and how a flash of light took you away from me…

I never knew…that you were there…but it's too late...

I feel in my arms…your wonderful face, again tear stained. I caused all your suffering…it's all my fault. Now I ride the sword you gave me…wielding your weapon in the name of freedom…but…no matter how hard I tried…no matter how I felt you…you couldn't be with me…It's so painful…I snapped…I could go on without you. I gave up fighting…even when our enemies were onto me…

I never knew…that you were there…but it's too late...and so…

Freedom radiated across the universe…my job here is done…your truth will continue to live in their hearts.

I never knew…that you were there…but it's too late...and so…let me come to you…

And you are there…in front of me…reaching out to me, as beautiful as ever…I couldn't ask for anything more…I love you, Lacus…
