To Watch You Go
By: The Gothic Who Likes Flowers (Me)
(Told by Kairi's perspective)
As I saw you, Sora,
I just didn't know:
I saw you, but only
To watch you go.
As we stood on the rocks
And watched them shatter,
We thought to ourselves,
"Does it even matter?"
While stretching without pride,
We held tight
But then Sora told me
Something in might:
"Kairi, remember what you said?
I'm always with you too.
But, instead of a lie,
That sorta seems quite true."
"Anyway, I'll come back to you,
I promise! I swear!"
But as we lost our grip,
I just couldn't bear.
I should've known.
Sora lost his grip
And we let go.
I wanted to cry,
But I held it back.
Even though it was a pain,
Like sitting on a thumbtack.
But as we parted further
Our own dreams did collide.
Stars started falling
Only circles, it was a surprise.
We both gasped
It was an amazing sight.
The Island was returning,
The beauty and the light.
As we watched, Sora said his final words to me:
"Kairi, I'll come back,
Riku will too
We won't lack!"
"All of us will be together soon!
Riku and I have the might to-"
He was gone.
Out of my sight.
The portal was closing
My head tilted down
But I knew I would see Sora and Riku again.
What was next was not to cause a frown.
Comets, all around.
Sora did this to ME,
I knew it,
I almost shouted out in glee!
The next day,
I was in the caves,
Exploring the drawings,
When I saw Sora's crave.
It was us, together, like we left it.
But something changed
Sora was giving something, a papou fruit, to me,
Right there, my heart really banged.
I imaged Sora,
Drawing the piece,
I cried a bit,
But it was still an amazing masterpiece.
I drew again,
The same type,
But instead I was giving a fruit to Sora.
One that was ripe.
Well, I last saw him there.
Three months have past.
And I still remember,
The lucky charm I gave him, still in his grasp.
And I know his promise
That he will come back.
And I still don't believe it's a lie.
Not a fib, not a tack.
To end this poem;
I say that I now know,
I saw Sora, but only
To watch him GO.
I hope you enjoyed it!
