I was once afraid of those days so far away-

Yet now I smile and look at today

You may not know why just yet,

But there's no misery in watching the sunset

Because though there's a lonely night drawing near,

There'll be a sunrise once the nightmares clear

I hope you know what it means to be alive,

To see love and life flourish and thrive

Perhaps I'm writing this a little dramatically,

Saying such a simple message so ecstatically

I know that it's going to be strange for you,

To read this and miss someone you never knew

But know that you'll never remember my face,

I'll always be with you, no matter the place

For you and I, we're a damaged mirror

Yet despite that, the image couldn't be clearer

No matter the scratches, you'll still see me there

You'll still see same thing anywhere

And if you feel you've reached your hour of demise,

Just look out into the golden sunrise

And know that I'll be there, watching over you

And I'll love you and all you'll do

So please, never give in and cry,

Lucina... This is goodbye.


A/N: Poetry is the one genre I don't write often, so please, tell me how I did!

"If you lose me somewhere,

And your tears are in the air-

I will ring a bell until you feel me by your side."

Song lyric from the main theme for Tales of Vesperia.
