Would you catch me?
~
Would you catch me if I fall out of what I fell in...?
Don't be surprised if I collapse down at your feet again…
I don't want to run away from this...
I know that I just don't need this.

And I think, though I love you, can I give up my destiny?
Everything reminds me of that night, how he sat there talking of sunlight sweeping over cities, lighting it up in the rosy hue of dawn. How he stated that I could go with him, we all could, watch him play blitzball and then party all night in the city that never sleeps. How wonderful that would be to just drop all responsibilities, but could I? Could I forget the pilgrimage knowing people would die if Sin was not destroyed? Could I just abandon them for some fabricated lie, for the ruins of a city destroyed a thousand years ago and boy who believes it still exists somewhere?
And if I did, if I did give up the lives of others for my own happiness, for my love, would you catch me? Would you be there to comfort me, support me when I fell into the hole of depression? The tears would pass soon, but the depression would linger there, always scratching away at my heart. Constantly the phantom nagging that I left those people to die.
Could I bear that?
I don't want to leave them alone, but at my age…so young. Do I want to die?
I don't want to. I want you. I didn't need this.
I wish I had met you in some other time, some other place, and then we could have been happy. Free.
We could have seen your rosy dawn as its fingers slide across the horizon, kissing the peaks of buildings. We would have had enough time to watch each rain fall from the sky quenching the thirst of the lands. We could have kissed each dewdrop.
It would have been magical.
Us. Together. Forever…
But, I think…
We will be together forever…
For you'll always be in my heart.
