To you, Sherlock.

Summary:

This is just an excuse to write a John Watson angst poem after the Fall. It was pre-written of mine a few months ago, I just changed some wordings—Oh, Don't mind me—Just trying to keep the feels together. Please continue on your daily lives.

Notes:

(See the end of the work for notes.)

Work Text:

I remember your voice
Like a beacon in the sea
When I was hopelessly swimming
No land around me

You were the lighthouse
In the midst of the sea storm
But you closed your light
And I am left to drown alone

I remember your smile
A perfect movement in harmony
Of your eyes, of your lips
Now a distant memory

I remember the last words
That I have said to you
When you said, being alone protects you
I've said, friends protect you

I remember your last words
Like a fading sunlight
A hand gripping my heart
A cold east wind at night

I wish I could turn back the hours
I wish I could keep you alive
I wish I have said the words
That could've mattered that time

"You are not alone, I am here."
But it's too late
It is what it is
You wouldn't see me in pain, at least

But know that I cared for you
I have loved you
I still do
Always. Just you.

Notes:

For Tiana, and Jen. The light of your friendship has made me turn my back (for now) to my very own fall. Thank you so much. I can say that you guys mean the world to me. And if I treasure a friend right now, that would be you two. Love you both. x
