-You Didn't Know-
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?
