Don't Forget: Kaoru's Point of View

Don't forget all you did,

All the men you killed,

All the pain and suffering,

Don't forget all you were,

That little boy,

You used to be,

Shinta,

I think,

Was his name,

Then Kenshin,

A true name for a swordsman some say,

Your cross- shaped scar,

Memories you hold,

As if they are lifelines,

To some other world,

Where pain is forever constant,

Don't forget Tomoe,

Not your promise,

Never that,

Don't kill again,

Don't forget the way you let me in,

To see your memories,

All the bloody stories you told,

Don't forget the way you loved me,

Because then you won't remember the rest,

Don't forget it all,

Not until the day comes,

When you must finally,

Leave this world,

For the next,

Don't forget your promises,

Or the many things you said,

Not until the end,

So you may return,

Forever in peace,

I love you Kenshin,

Forever I will,

I love you Kenshin,

And by your side,

I will stay,

Until I too leave,

To be with you again,

And I won't forget,

Any of it,

I won't forget Kenshin,

I won't,

And hopefully,

Neither will you.
