A letter/poem from Coran to Allura post s8. To rectify the fact that he didn't get to say goodbye to Allura before she died. Btw, the title means nostalgic smiles for those who don't know.
Sonrisas Nostálgicas
I can surely say, princess,
Because you did contrive
Your act was a success
We're all alive
A brilliant sun
I've watched you grow up
Like my niece, if I had one
It seems like just yesterday you were a baby, yup
Or is it that like a daughter to me
Well the point being that your practically kin
Sadly I wasn't able to send you off, milady
The universe won but you did not win
Well, um we've gained even more acclaim
Reaching levels of peace that are unprecedented
But without you here it's not the same
And I feel that my soul is slightly disoriented
I thought that I would leave first
Seeing as I am older
Alas it had come to the worst
Your death hit me like a boulder
Now I help run Altea since its reappearance
Keeping the culture alive in your absence
Still, I think in my times of clearance
No will ever be able to capture your iridescence
Oh Altea, I wish you could see it
It's as beautiful as we remember
Looking so exquisite
Shining as brightly as an ember
I like to think you're up there
Your Highness
Watching over us in care
Like a loving lioness
And that it must have taken a lot of bravery
Doing what you did will always have me in awe
When my thoughts drift to you I smile wistfully
On that note, this is me saying goodbye Allura
And thus this is the end for this "story". After season 8, I had decided that I should end this with Coran writing to Allura and well this is it so, yeah. Thank you, everyone, who followed, favorited and reviewed this work. I know this isn't typical fanfiction, but poetry is an actual genre here so it's not wrong for me to post here, just not the norm. And honestly, I don't think I can write a classic story, nor do I have the interest to do so at the moment. I'm content with making poems and if you guys happen to like this poetry than that's great!
