" Long Kiss Goodbye "
by: Minako-chan

Sayonara
A word that means so much
How could it all end,
With just one word and just one touch?

The days that we’ve spent together
Would matter much less
In the moment that you go…
For Love is a test

For I’ve never met anyone
Quite as unique as you
With truth in her eyes
And a love so true

No one has ever held me
In their arms, a tight embrace
That could soothe all worries
Wipe the tears from my face

Until you came along
My world was a disarray
Loneliness was a companion
I thought would never go away

But I found in you
A part of my sprit, a part of me
Something that I thought
I would never see

Sure, there we’re friends
But they weren’t as special as you
Who was always there with me
To see a problem through
I didn’t need to tell you
You always knew what to do

You were joy beyond all compare
Laughter bounded by no tears
Even in my moments of weakness
You healed all of my fears

I thought I could keep you
With me till forever
But it would be a deception to us both
And deceive you…
I would never

I don’t want to lose you
And it pains me so to see you leave
Forever I would remember
Forever I would grieve

But Fate has brought you to me
And so Fate takes away
Maybe in another lifetime
I’ll see you again someday

So till then I have nothing to offer
But this long kiss goodbye
Under the milky twilight
Under the starry sky

The only memory I could give
That you could take back with you
Of a world called Gaea
Of a boy you once knew

Who would never lose hope
And would wait for you
Till the days grew weary
He’d see it all through

If only to see you again.

Sayonara till then, Hitomi…
