Two years.
And did she see?
how I struggled
how I fought
and did she hear
all the things I said
did she receive
all the messages I sent
about sorrow
about hope
about flowers
about spring
about the moon
about dawn
and the light
Could she tell?
through the things I did,
the things I did
that were just like her,
the things I wore
and
the words I could sing
but couldn't say--
bound by my prior promises
by too many people watching
by my own fears and
regrets for my mistakes--
(Did she know?)
that it was all for her
that I missed her so much
that I never stopped
that I've been waiting
this
whole
time
All
two
years.

Two years.
And did he see?
how I struggled
how I fought
and did he hear
all the things I said
did he receive
all the messages I sent
about sorrow
about lies
about stars
about strawberries
and sakura
about freedom
and staying
and home
Could he tell?
through the things I did,
the things I did
that were just like him,
the things (and rings) I wore
and
the words I could sing
but couldn't say--
bound by my future calling
by too many people watching
by my own fears and
regrets for my mistakes--
(Did he know?)
that it was all for him
that I missed him so much
that I never stopped
that I've been waiting
this
whole
time
All
two
years.
