Note: This poem really made me cry! This is on Yuffie and her feelings on Aeris. I don't know why, but I made Yuffie think that she thought of Aeris as a sister. I guess it makes sense, since she needed siblings... (does she have siblings? Can someone clarify that for me?) Anyway, read on and see what you think!
Chapter 7 - My dear sweet sister
My dear sweet sister how soon you had to die.
You would smile and you would laugh, but you never seem to cry.
I watched the blade come down so swiftly and accurately through your heart,
When I could not keep you from dying, it made my life fall apart.
You spoke to me in a gentle voice, despite my rebellious tone
And whispered in my ear and called me, 'dear sister, my own.'
In the distance, I thought I saw you there,
But when I realized it wasn't you, I cried out, 'this is unfair!"
Why did you have to die? Why did you have to leave?
Why did you have to sacrifice yourself to keep the world in peace?
All along I thought I never needed anyone to whisper secrets in my ear,
But you alone made me believe you are the one whom I will always hold dear.
I've always wanted a sister, whom I will share my likes and dislikes with and my dreams
However, you are not there to laugh, to play and to hug me, it seems.
The thought of you there, laid over a pool of blood, never to smile or to give comfort again,
I promise to comfort those like you have done and promise to be their friend.
I want to be like you, sister, the one who made people smile
The one, in order to save the world, would walk on for miles.
Into distant lands you would travel
Endangering your foot against gravel
Despite the pain you endured, you pressed on forward
Toward the rising sun... you continued onward.
But before you gracefully walked into the light,
You kissed my forehead and said, 'good night.'
Good night to you too, dear sweet sister, I will always keep you in my heart,
Despite the distance from each other, I know we will never be apart.
GoodGurl: This was sad... I almost cried... ALMOST! LOL. Anyway I hope you enjoyed this one. Don't worry to those who expected Nanaki next, but I did plan on doing all the characters on their thoughts on Aeris. Thanks for reviewing! ;)
