Author's Chapter Notes:

By the way, any love spoken of in this fanfic is purely familial; I didn't see a romantic kind of relationship in the movie, but don't get me wrong -- to each their own. That's just not what I'm trying to relay here.

This is my first X-Men poem, and I hope it's enjoyed by those who read it!

I can feel you all the time now, though you're far away.
The connection we have allows us to be together even
when apart. I want you to know I can feel your pain.
I know sometimes you're sad; I know sometimes you cry.
I miss you.

Maybe we should have said how we feel.
But does it matter that we never said the words?
You did know we both felt the same way, didn't you?
I did.

Maybe I should tell you that I love you.
But isn't there lots of time for that?
You'll be the same when you come back, but will I?
No.

Maybe you should come back home.
But didn't I tell you that you're everything I've never had?
You're afraid you might hurt me again?
You never did.

Are you crying again?
Your eyes are dry but I can feel your tears.
Don't you know I'll always be here for you?
Don't you know there's no way I'll leave your side?

Please come home.
Please tell me you love me and
pull me into your arms.
Please never leave me again and
keep the promise to protect me always.
Please leave this past alone and
come and be the only one who isn't frightened of me.

Be the one who doesn't shy away from me;
Be the one who takes a risk to stroke my hair.
Be the one who cares about me, touch or no.
But you're already the one who does all that.

What, more tears?
Stop crying, I can't stand it anymore.
Be happy; don't feel guilty for me.
I want you home but I can wait.
Please don't cry.

You've run away to look for a past you forgot
when the future's rolling away from you.
But I understand.

You've left me here alone when I could have come to
help you find the past that's become both of ours.
But I understand.

Please come home soon, but only when you're ready.
Only when you've found what you're looking for.
Then you'll be happy and you can return to me.
I'll be older, wiser, but I'll still be waiting for you
to come and hug me tightly like the child I was when you left.

Please come see me soon, but only when you're ready.
Only when you've chased out all your demons.
Then you'll be content and you can smile again.
I'll be different, more mature, but I'll still be happy
when you come back and I'll smile with you.

I'll be different -- I'm already different.
But the part that loves you will always be there,
waiting for you and ready with arms open in welcome.
When you decide to come home- when you're ready to come home-
I'll be here. I'll still be here and I'll still want to hug you.
I'll still love you, and I'll still understand why you
stayed away so long.

So don't be quick on my account.
Don't hurry your answers and don't speed up your search.
Don't feel guilty for leaving me behind.
And please don't cry anymore. Don't cry for me, and I won't
cry for you, and then one day you can show up at my door
and we'll both be smiling.
