An Angel's Goodbye

This poem is a tribute to the character Misuzu, from the anime AIR.

I'm surrounded by loneliness
I yearn for happiness
My illness turned me into a lie
Now I only wish to fly
Now I only wish to die

Every night, I would dream
In my dreams, I could fly, it would seem
Yet in my dreams, I was engulfed in sadness
Every night, no moment was emotionless

My end is near
I know
But it isn't clear
It's filled with sorrow

I'm sorry... I had to lie
My precious, I didn't want to see you cry
My pain wasn't gone, I was only pretending
I did not wish for you to see... this tragic ending

I saw the end of my dream, I slept my last night
You slept by me, holding me tight
To see you happy, I pretended to be alright
Knowing deeply, I would soon see my last light

My last day passed by
I'm now free of my lie
To my goal, I flied
To my precious, I smiled

High in the sky, I can now rest
I love you, please don't cry
A hug for you, your were always the best
A hug for you, and one last goodbye

End
