In my hands,
A legacy of memories,
I can hear you say my name,
I can almost see your smile,
Tears cascaded down Kagome's face as she lay on her bed, her knees drawn up against her chest with her arms wrapped firmly around her legs.
Tomorrow…
Was graduation, the ending of her chapter at school and alas everything that happened within those years of school would be closed, like the world she unwillingly left behind her.
Feel the warmth of your embrace,
But there is nothing but silence now,
Around the one I loved,
Is this our farewell?
Hope...
Was all he could take hold of in this world - a world that was located five hundred years in the past. Although InuYasha knew what - or rather whom he would rather hold in his embrace, the woman who held his heart, his soul. With her gone, hope was the only thing keeping him from being torn asunder.
Sweet darling you worry too much, my child,
See the sadness in your eyes,
You are not alone in life,
Although you might think that you are,
Goodbye…
A word she refused to think, to believe, knowing that it was goodbye that tore her apart.
`Is it alright for me to wallow in misery like this?' Kagome had wondered in the past.
Was it okay to feel down about being trapped in the future when her family had her back - for good?
Never thought,
This day would come so soon,
We had no time to say goodbye,
How can the world just carry on?
Lost…
InuYasha was torn back into his own time for the reason that he belonged there. He was a creature born of the era, and she, a swan born of her own. Nothing could ever change that. Nothing could ever change the fact that was they were bound to separate worlds.
Sometimes he felt resentful of their friends, they way they found happiness and he lost his only chance at that. However, soon after those thoughts had fled his mind, he felt dreadful.
Change…
He knew he would never - even in his own mind - have admitted his emotions so clearly. He understood it was okay to feel these ways, and it was all because of the changes she had invoked in him.
I feel so lost when you are not by my side,
But there's nothing but silence now,
Around the one I loved,
Is this our farewell?
Strength…
Her mother met her down by the well that started it all. Giving her courage and strength she need to know, to not be afraid and the permission to go.
Knowledge…
Kagome knew now that shutting the chapter of her school life was only ending her life in the present in the twentieth century was over and that her time in the warring states era was her future.
That knowledge gave her hope.
So sorry your world is tumbling down,
I will watch you through these nights,
Rest your head and go to sleep,
Time…
Was given to her, to let her grow, give her options on what she wanted. He gave her a choice, and as the scents in the wind changed, she had decided hers.
Because my child, this is not our farewell.
They were not bound to time.
This is not…
They were bound to each other.
Our farewell…
