On a lonely sidewalk on an empty street
A silent girl makes a lonely journey
An empty soul wanders down the road home
Her stride is strong but her heart is weary
Her only link to people is a machine
But she knows her efforts are in vain
For unwanted by her peers is she seen
She enters the lift and it starts with a kick
She is almost back in to her empty apartment
She thinks on how this makes her feel so sick
The lift jolts to a stop and she exits and closes its door
Now on her floor, she takes those last steps home
She does not spare her door's mailbox even simple a glance
But instead she opens her door, she is not alone
She looks at the table and sees school papers and home work
This is why they came, they were doing as they were told
Why else would anyone come to see her
Who would wish to be near one so cold
Touji stood now, wanting to leave he walked from his chair
But Shinji, holding a bag of garbage in one hand, smiled warmly at her
As warmth radiated from his face she could not help but to stair
He apologized for simply walking in to her apartment
And said that while waiting he had picked up her room's debris
She blushed at him, and stuttered out thanks
She was near trembling, but inside she could feel her heart's ease
He took her gratitude warmly as she stood there with eyes wide and cheeks blushing
He smiled again at her once more and with that he left with his friend
After he left she continued to stand there, she wished for him to return
She wished that short-lived moment of happiness not to have had to end
Minutes went by and she lay down as she was weary
She thought about her expression of gratitude she had shown
A common thing for all the other girls her age
But for her it was completely unknown
She wondered how she, the doll of NERV, could have such feelings
She wondered what might happen if she tried to live for things other than NERV
To try to live another way than as she had would mean risking the commanders fury
She new the commander would say that she would receive what she would deserve
Perhaps, she thought, but how could she continue to live alone
This life I have is empty and bare, no longer acceptable to me
Even though this life is all that I have ever known
She sighed, and decided to think of a happier and more pleasant thing
Like the time she had saved his life and in turn he had saved her
When he asked for her to smile, and she thought her soul would sing
From this image she drew comfort, and a small smile unfolded on her face
With the thought of Ikari on her mind, she decided it was time for rest
The Commander and his son may both be part of her life
But of the two of those lilim, she new that the younger was the best
Tomorrow was another day, and she new that it would be difficult
But for the one who truly cared for her mind, heart, and soul
She new that they were destined to complete each other
And that someday the two of them would make each other whole.
