The Strength to find the Light

I helped your brother pack your things just the other day.

It's hard to accept the painful truth that you've gone away.

We were one, you told me, a single flame burning bright.

Now your flame has flickered out, leaving me with night.

Takeru tries hard to be strong, I know that I am weak,

For my heart is gripped with pain, my life now empty, bleak.

It was I who found the letter, on which you scrawled my name,

I took this as a miracle, Takeru did the same.

With trembling hands I opened it, as tears streamed down my face,

Your loving words were warm and soft, just like your sweet embrace.

My Lia, if you're reading this, I know that I've passed on.

But have faith in me, sweet angel, for I'm not truly gone.

I'll live inside your memories, I'll be in your heart.

I will not break my promise, we shall never be apart.

I have all eternity to sit and wait for you,

But I can't come back to life, my love, though I know you want me to.

Live your life without me, step out of the shrouds of night.

I know that you possess the strength, my love, to the find the light.

Ai shiteru, Yamato.

And as I stood there in shock, I let go of my pain.

My tears ceased their flowing, the clouds outside, their rain.

I cannot begin to tell you how I wish that you weren't gone,

But Takeru and I, together, can find the courage to go on.

And Yamato, I hate to admit it, but you were absolutely right.

Your brother and I, we have the strength we need to find the light.

Arigatou, Yamato, for all the love you've given me. Ai shiteru.
