Tales of Symphonia

:Rating: PG

:Disclaimer: don't own ToS, don't sue --own the poem, will sue for stealers. Sheena's POV. I take no responsibility for spoilers.

You didn't know

how much it hurt for every remark

with that grin on your face

and that wandering hand in the wrong place.

For every look

that strayed from my eyes to someone's back

with that lustful expression

you hid all your depressions.

You didn't know

how much you belonged here

on the battle field

and when we travelled through enemy land.

That every joke

you made to make the load lighter

was the biggest comfort

that we'll never enjoy again.

You didn't know

that I never really thought you were stupid

for the actions you made;

the unwavering support you never gave.

When I was lost

and you stayed with me until I was sure

that I knew where I was

and how far we were going together.

You didn't know

that I used to have nightmares

that disappeared after

you told me I was strong

Just how much

it hurt me and broke the team

when you gave up

and decided that you didn't deserve life.

You didn't know

that I cried every lonely, snowy night

that you weren't there

and I never told you how I felt.

That I always saw you

and your pretty face and your soothing voice

and your look on life

and the simple aspirations you held sacred

You didn't know, Zelos Wilder

about how much Seles cared about you

and you know…

she would rather stay in that abbey than have you dead.

Why didn't you see, Zelos?

didn't you want that one thing to be true?

The one woman you couldn't seem to get…

she wanted you too.

You didn't know

that I loved you Zelos

with every fibre in my body and soul

I wish there was a magic to bring you back to me.

What about now?

Can you see the regenerated world from where you are?

How about when it comes to Tethe'alla's first cold…

When I go to your grave and place white roses in the snow?
