Chrono Crusade: Story's End

A/N: Alight, this is a poem I wrote that's based off the ending of Chrono Crusade. As implied-
WARNING: SPOILER ALERT!!! SPOILER ALERT!!! IF YOU HAVEN'T SEEN THE ENDING TO CHRONO CRUSADE, DO NOT READ THIS!!!
Seriously, people. The ending to Chrono Crusade is one of THE BEST endings I have ever seen, so I'm going to shout at anyone reading this without watching the ending of the anime. This is not based off the ending of the manga, so-
IF YOU HAVE READ THE ENDING OF THE MANGA, BUT NOT THE ANIME, THIS APPLIES TO YOU, TOO!!!
The ending of the anime and the manga are completely different, so don't assume just because you've watched/read one of them that you know the other. Sure, they were both done by the same person, but they're still completely different.
Alright, now that I've scared away most of the readers, let's begin!

Story's End

The sun slowly sinks, lower and lower,

I squeezed your hand,

The clock’s hands tick,

Tears pour out my eyes, you hold me tight,

What had we fought for?

Why had we fought?

The sun is falling, farther and farther out of reach,

I hug you tighter, never wanting to let go,

The clock’s hands come closer and closer to midnight,

I enjoy the feelings we share,

Is it wrong to wish for more time?

Is it wrong to be afraid of death?

The sun is a thin line on the horizon,

The pain, the emptiness, the fear,

Tick, tick, tick,

The happiness, the love,

Why am I so helpless?

Why couldn’t I protect you?

The sun disappears,

I rest my head against yours, we lean on each other,

The clock’s hands reach midnight,

I need you, you need me,

Is it really over?

I am one tiny drop,

Striving to reach something far larger than myself,

You’re always there,

Another tiny drop with me,

Can we really fight the flow of the world?

Do we continue to fight the battle we won?

No,

Our fight was over,

We could finally rest,

Together.

Yet, we can’t forget,

The sacrifices that were made,

For us to win our battle,

The people that helped us,

Believed in us,

And were waiting for us.

Darkness envelopes the world,

We return to the river of time,

Your clock’s hands won’t tick again,

And neither will mine.

No matter what happens,

Even if we die,

Our happiness will never die,

Our love never will.

Our pain dies,

We no longer have to fight,

Our emptiness dies,

And my fear disappears.

Wherever we end up,

I hope to stay with you,

I’d follow you to Hades,

Resting eternally against each other,

Together forever.

Who said sad endings

Can’t be happy?
