" To Never Let Go "
by: Minako-chan

As the night grows weary and dim
I look up into the cold night sky
Bright comets blaze past
As dark clouds go by

Stars.

The only semblance of your smile
Your face in the moonlight
Ever clear in my mind
The most beautiful sight

And I remember…

Those short days of long ago
When all I could feel was your hand in mine
When I thought that forever was possible
To never let go

How is it then that in one night
We could grow so near
Yet fall so far?
That all you could ever be
Is that one distant star
That shines on my path only at night
And always eludes me
When the end comes in sight

That star that I try
So hard to reach
But can never come by

That night when I saved you
When my wings enfolded you
When I truly felt you in my arms
I cried
Not from the pains of war
But from the bittersweet memory of losing you
To life’s cruel fate
But what could I do?

Strangers from two different worlds
Could never live together
Like a fish out of sea
One has to give in to the other
Yet would they be happy?

Though my heart yearns for you
As the seasons go by
I know that I would have to forget you
Well, at least I could try

But who could erase a memory
As vivid as the sun
As mystic as the moon
And the stars that fade all too soon

Maybe in time
I’ll learn to say goodbye
Learn to live with your memory
And stop looking to the sky

Yearning for a miracle
To bring you back to me
For that bright pillar of light
I’ve long been hoping to see

But memories were really meant to fade
Through winter’s chill and summer’s glade
It’s time to move on and look up ahead
Never look back To a past, now dead

You’ve got your life to live
And I’ve got my own
Time to reap
The seeds that have been sown

Sayonara…my one true love
Angel sent from up above
Maybe we’ll meet again someday
But for now our destiny lies the other way

Yet for one brief moment let me look at the sky
Watch the night and day go by
And dream the dreams
Of you and I
Unable to forget, not knowing why
Sitting in pale moonlight
A shadow of a memory
With me…

Till the day I die.
