Lingering Poems (Final Fantasy XV)

More Than A Friend

Noctis, since the day I met you, I knew I could never let you go.
Caring for you and loving you was all I ever wanted to.

You were more than a prince to me, more than a friend, a brother I could always tend.

I'm sorry for what you had to suffer, but I promise to be there with every step you take to your own fate.

I would give my all to protect you, shield you from all the pain and try to sooth it as much as I can.

Even if I know that you don't load the burdens you carry on us as your friends.

You always deal alone with them, with all the emotions and regrets.

But I want you to know that we are always there to support you and I'm always there to be more than a advisor, more than a friend.

When I heard about you fate, I wanted to scream and shrink away.

The thought of you leaving us, leaving me forever alone, left a crack on my soul.

How could I let you throw your life away for fate? How could I ever bear the burden of never sacrificing my life in exchange for you to live on?

Everything I ever wanted was you holding my hand, while smiling gently at me like you did on our first day.

Noct, I love you more than an advisor should and the thought of you being gone is something I can't live with.

You are so much more to me, you are more than a friend.
