To Be One Again (Jaune/Pyrrha)

Written by Jaune, to Pyrrha.

I raise my shield up, as I prepare to strike;

You taught me that on our first day.

"Keep your grip tight -

Don't forget to keep your front foot forward."

You said, in your own special way.

Now I swing, and I slice, while inside I fight,

Remembering your scent with each breath that I take;

Every night yet I train, then I sit and I sob,

I grieve and I mourn and I shake.

I was so wrapped up, so hopelessly blind,

So afraid, so lost, so nearsighted;

Until you came along, so selfless and kind,

And our love, with one kiss, ignited.

Then you pushed me into, what now feels like a coffin;

Why Love? I would have given my life!

If I had only been stronger; Our song many lines longer!

I know one day I would have called you my w...

Now that's all ever-after; my unforgivable chapter;

Our fairy tale with an unhappy end.

As my hope was shaken, from nightmare unawakened,

Replaying again and again...

But this tome isn't finished; I simply will not abide,

As darkness and hatred succeeds.

While your ashes have scattered, I still hold what matters;

I move forward with your memories.

I take your strength as my own, determination unbound,

I gird myself with your bravery;

I see this world with your eyes, tie your sash at my side,

Your soul is the air I now breath.

Gods please grant my request-- a deep twilight escape,

To reunite with her in my dreams;

So we may kiss once again, our lips never to part;

In her embrace, forever-lasting reveries...
