[Soul Eater] I WILL BE THERE

[I'm afraid... Afraid I won't have time to let you know, Afraid you won't have time to wait for me to grow up, Afraid you won't have time to see me change, And even more afraid I won't have time to hold your hand as you leave.] These thoughts once made me mistakenly believe I had lost you. Because you were always silent, never responding to me. All I could do was blame my soul for never keeping pace with yours. (Maybe my musical appreciation is just too poor?) I watched your figure remain far away, always on the other side. Crying over and over means nothing, so I truly didn't know what to do... Until many years later... Until I grew strong enough to command you, as a craftsman, to protect you, instead of being a child who only talked tough while letting you protect me, I finally understood what you had been saying to me from afar that day. I replayed those words you mouthed in my mind hundreds of times. They were the proof I had longed for, showing that you had never left. “I WILL BE THERE…”
