Every time we meet face to face
We can't help but start a fight,
But those are still good memories I hold tight

I wipe the hot, angry tears away. The graves before me a reminder of why everything is so hard now. They left me here all alone.

You helped me learn it all
You've made me strong and I'm not afraid anymore

It has been years since I've last seen my parents alive. It's been years since I could speak aloud.

Maybe I can't take a single step,
But I can grasp that piece of happiness

A small hand rests upon my shoulder, hesitant and gentle. I turn, burying my face in her neck as I hold my best friend.

That is why...
Even if we're separated, I will overcome the pain and
Walk this road alone and pray that
Our dreams could see the light of day

I have to stay strong. For my parents. For Tsu. My muffled sobs escape, without voice and without conviction. I hope I can be strong again.

You were always by my side
Oh, how proud I was to know you're mine
But when I woke up in the morning
You were nowhere to be found

Asui Tsuyu, known by her friends as Tsu, has been my best friend since we were children. When my parents were snatched from me so quickly, she was the one who let me fall to her.

It felt like we were playing games
Winning once, then losing again
We stood tall with hopes in our hands
To start again

It still hurts so much. My heartstrings tug and stretch inside my chest. Usually, I can contain this feeling. But this is the anniversary of their death, and these emotions swole up until I had to let them out.

And now I look at this with no regrets
Would not trade this for anything
Soon we'll go our separate ways but I

Tsu pulls away, her tongue sticking out and concern in her eyes. "I'm right here, Y/n."

I nod, signing, "Thank you."

Feel too lonely to say goodbye
That is why...
I'll go anywhere, I promise
With these things that you have taught me

I take one last look as we leave the graveyard, the fresh flowers giving life to a place that's so dead.

Tsu holds my hand all the way, resting her head on my shoulder.

In the tears so brightly shining
I'll save happiness and our dreams
Even if we're separated, I will bear the pain and carry on

I remember being happy with my parents, when I was young. The same happiness that Tsu gives me. The happiness of someone to belong with, who accepts and cares for you.

Rise again to see the morning
Live for you for evermore
Even if the light is fading
And I'm left alone so jaded I can hear your voice saying

"Are you okay to go to school tomorrow? I can tell your teacher if not," Tsu looks up at me, searching for a reply.

"I don't know," my fingers feel heavy as I sign, unable to meet her eyes.

I'm strong enough to go through anything
It gets harder every second I'm not sure if I can fight the tears

The tears have swollen up again, and she buries her face in my chest, pulling me into a tight hug. I hug her back, silent tears spilling over.

But I feel the warmth within and
It lets me know you're always here with me
Time is flowing, changing faces I can't seem to keep pace and

Even now, while I'm overwhelmed with these feelings, I feel her warmth. She always watches for my nonverbals. Always so meticulous, catching the tremble of my lips and the way my eyes cast down.

Memories are torn to pieces
Can't recall what happened in this place
So I try and close my eyes

My eyes close as I melt into the hug, my chin atop her head. She relaxes into the hug, both of us embraced in a content hug.

And I hear somebody's joyful laugh
It is my most precious treasure

While I don't make verbal sound myself, I always long to hear Tsu's voice. She's such a cute, happy frog. I smile through the tears.

While it's there, it is enough
