You Say I'm Not Your Friend

You Say I'm Not Your Friend...

You say I'm not your friend...
but I will prove you wrong...

You say I'm not your friend. In fact, when you first came here, you fought me and vowed to destroy me. And even though my friends all fought against you (they died, for that matter) and told me to finish you once and for all, I let you go, because I knew you would come back...

Well, eventually I saw you again, and eventhough everyone said you couldn't be trusted, you were the one who restored my health, and I remember, in that attempt, you were going to inyect me with a needle, and I started to holler and you had to use another thing. Then, after I fell asleep on the regeneration tank, I could still feel you there, watching over me...

You say I'm not your friend,
that I'm a nuissance and you'll get rid of me...
so much time has passed,
and I'm still waiting...

If I'm not your friend, then why did you protect my son, Gohan, on the battle with Frieza? You really didn't have to do that... and then, just moments before dying by the hands of that monster; To whom was it that you told what happened to your life, and held your pride (a little) by actually crying? You came to me. The person you supposedly despise the most.

Much after that, when we were back on Earth, I noticed you started acting a little bit different, but, to be honest, I didn't know what it was, until a lavender-haired young man told me the truth. I guess I was shocked; and he also told me I would die of a heart disease...

Of course, you didn't know about any of this, and you even came to me once, complaining about what an annoying woman She was, and so on, but what you never dreamed of happening was that I knew that "Woman" would be the one to bear your son...

The son that, even though you seem to ignore, you're very proud of...

*Yes, I know, and you say I'm not your friend...*

You see, friends don't have to say anything, they have a bond... that connects with the heart... and you know, you know how that person thinks, or feels...

Even though the others say things like: "He's such a jerk!" or "Who does he think he is?!", I smile silently on a corner, knowing there's more to you, that you said you would kill me, but you save me from any situation...

So, the inevitable day came when I'd save you...

It was when that thing, Cell, came... he went wild, and I had to think fast, so, the only thought that came to my mind was to... sacrifice myself...

It hurt me deeply, but it had to be done. So before taking that last step, I looked back...

And there you were, not believing what you were seeing, and something told me you didn't want it to end this way, but all I managed to say was a farewell to my friends...

Now that I'm alone, in the other world, sometimes I think...

You said I wasn't your friend, that I was third class and pathetic; but if you really meant that, you would've killed me a long time ago, you wouldn't have saved me and my son countless times...

And you wouldn't have shed a single, crystal tear when I said goodbye...
