For Meryl Strife from Vash the Stampede:
When was it?
You know, the time when…
I saw something different
In you that was unique
When was it?
Because you walked like the woman I loved?
Who lay dead over 130 years ago?
I saw something different
In you that was finally true
When was it?
There were many that pleased me
Caught my eye---the sheriff with the blond curls
And the rest that followed….
When was it?
You know, it never occurred to me
That you walked just like her
Just so when the light hit your face as you walked.
When was it?
Was it when you risked her life?
To save a being like me?
In her I saw something more
And now I see something in you
Meryl, my light and my love
How could I have been so blind?
I believe in compassion and the hope it inspires.
Because in you Meryl was the woman I used to love.
When was it?
Yes, I remember now.
It was when you showed me how to love
Yes, how to love humanity.
That's when I knew it was you.
