Okay a little change here. I'm going to state in the openeing of the poems who the

speaker/speakers are. Hopefully this will make things less confusing.


POV: Shinji, then Rei.



Hospital Visit



Again I awaken to this ceiling

All to familer

Why are they keeping me here?

I feel fine

So why am I here



He came so close

To being a part

Of the beast

He doesn't know

How close he came



Is that Ayanami?

Standing there

What is she doing

Looking at me like that?

Does it mean...



Words tumble forth

"Are you okay?

Pilot Ikari?

I was worried

About you"



She was worried?

Can it mean

What I hope?

"I'm okay

Thank you for asking"



"I have decided

Not to risk

Any further delay

In making what I feel

Known to you"



She leans towerds me

Her lips pursed

They meet mine

I like this

A dream come true




The look on his face

Tells me we both

Have the same feelings

I feel...

Glad?



"Rei don't worry

As long as I have reason

I will live"

She blinks

And speaks to me



":That is not

The only way I can

Lose you

But for now I will hold you"

This is good.
