I fake a grin

So I can see her smile.

I tell her it's okay

So we can hug for a while.

She won't know

What she means to me.

Even as an angel

She cannot fly free.

She won't feel a thing.

She doesn't know what I see.

I hear her voice at night

Her voice shines so alarming

How can I fall asleep

When I can't be her prince charming?

In the morning she is not there

She doesn't know

How much I care.

She opens her mouth

To whisper my name.

But an angel cannot speak

And she isn't the same.

So can I tell her

How I truly feel

When her mind is rotting

And her heart will not heal?

She's become a different person

A being I cannot explain.

She can't see the life around her

She cannot feel the pain.

I want her old mind back.

I want to exit this mission.

She's become a lifeless soul

A dark ominous illusion.

I want to remove these feelings

These feelings that continue to haunt.

I want us to go back

Back to Sylvarant.

I know this is impossible.

I know this is her fate.

This road is far too long

And we are much too late.

This mission has been set

Please don't drift away

My dear darling Colette
