Aerith
You left me in tears knowing I would have to strength to go on.
Each time I heard your name I want to cry and weep.
The presence you presented was unlike any other I had seen.
The trees bowed before as you entered the forest.
The flowers lifted their scent of beauty and form.
All within the range of your shape were stunned and dumbfounded.
I try to forget the day you left us, but I was there unfortunately.
You inspired me to save the world from another force.
I will have my chance to join you above…if that's what you want.
Going into the church where we first met brought me to my knees in prayer.
It is hard for me to leave, for I have just seen your face in my thoughts, oh why!
The weather is getting colder, but I'm not going home yet. I want to be with you forever.
Tell me which way I should take and that will make all the difference.
Right then and there a sword was drawn out of its case; the sheathing could be heard for miles.
The figure behind me knew who I was talking too, and yet he refused to move.
With one quick swipe of his blade I saw the whole world fall apart…
Where is it I'm now?
Ah yes I see you, but the closer I run to you the farther you appear.
After a while I gave up and wept.
Why must it be so impossible to have one last word with you?
Oh Aerith please hear me out, all I wanted was your hand on my shoulder.
As I sat there you came to me and floated in circles.
There you are my love; I never left you to begin with.
I tried touching your hand but I felt only air and beauty.
This will be my last word to you. I have given you another shot to bring me back.
What must I do in order to accomplish that?
Look for the clues I have left you down below, that will surely reconnect us.
With one last tear falling off my face I help up my sword and said a prayer in your honor.
The gateway is over there; show this mysterious figure the real light.
I shall vow for you that light will reign over darkness.
Pray with me to have the courage.
Amen I say to you!
Sephiroth I'm waiting for you, show me your true form!
The church was the same as I had left it. Ah there he is.
Bring me to my feet so I may disperse of you from this golden land.
May the fiery of hell reign on you! Surely you don't think you will survive.
Take this blow as a gift from Aerith. There you shall never get a glimpse of her again.
Amen and peace be with you.
