First in a series of poems I'm writing from FFX character's POV.

We Were Great /By Saffire Raynius\

(Tidus- Final Fantasy X)

I was once a star player

The perfect image, fragile

Yet strong

Swimming through loud waters,

scream of the crowd

rushing in our ears

We were great.

But fame isn't everything

As your kind face taught me;

Our fathers were famous,

And we both had much to live up to.

You kept dancing,

breath of the wind

rushing in our ears

We were great.

And so we went on

Proving in the end that

We were great

Forever and ten years of peace,

at the cost of so many lives

but saving so many more

We were great.

Your last words were so true

Out of heart, not desperation.

You are free to live.

You will no longer dance,

so instead my breath

will softly touch your ear

saying

You are great.
