Lauren: I don't own Kareshi Kanojo no Jijou (His & Her Circumstances). I wrote this after watching the episode about Miyazawa Hiroyuki and his wife Miyako (Yukino's parents). It was the one about Hiroyuki's life and how he met Miyako, etc. I thought it was a touching and interesting story so I used some of the lines they spoke and put it into a poem about his life.
Dusk
By: Lauren
Dusk
The expanse of city lights
The sun melting into the earth
The aroma of dinner wafting through the air somewhere
It feelings…lonely…
At this time of day
Yet at the same time it is strangely…
Pleasant…
It is then that
Distant days I can no longer touch
Return to me
Always the two of us
Ever since I can remember
I never felt lonely because I loved grandpa
"You don't have a mother or father, right?"
"I don't have a mother either! We match!"
At some point,
I stopped clinging to grandfather's lap
"You are something different."
Painful watching him grow
At some point, I really began
To grow up quickly
I didn't want to be a kid
Who was protected
But an adult who can support him
I want him to relax
I want to return all the love
He has given me all this time
"The funeral is over. Please eat."
"I'm okay really. Go on home."
"I want to be with you!"
Crystal blue tears drops
That fell like rivers
Why? Why?
I could never do anything, no matter how much I loved him
I didn't want to say goodbye.
I always feared goodbye.
It hurts.
Pearly white, angel soft snowflakes fell around us
As we embraced.
Love goes deep.
I'm sure he knew and was happy
Just because you were born
Into this world.
We married.
A tough but happy life
I understand grandpa now
Just being born is enough
That alone makes me happy
His love flows in me
And that will be passed on to my children
Because love is something that goes around
I remember this always
As the sun melts
Into the horizonAnd dusk passes
