Haruko's Regret

She's always been there,
Like a thorn in my side.
Just standing and waiting
Like sand in the tide.

She looks up at me
With those hopeful blue eyes
And I find myself wishing
That I could be kind.

My one, only gift
Is a little stuffed pet
But I can't try to care;
I'll be further in debt.

But then she fell ill
And I did my part.
She'll finally be mine
(I wish) With all of my heart.

"We've only just started!"
And hope was so warm
But I was too late
And she died in my arms.

And now I'm alone,
But I know I'll get by.
'Cuz she's with me right now
And free in the sky.
