Will You Wait for Me
by Kavana

I need to talk with you again,
Why did you go away?
[gendo didn't expect yui's death and until now, still can't accept the fact too]
All our time together still feels like yesterday
I never thought I'd see
A single day without you,
[obviously, gendo was looking forward to spending forever with yui...]
The things we take for granted,
We can sometimes lose
[it could have been possible that gendo and yui were too busy with their work, which lessened the time they spent together...and that brought more pain to gendo when yui wasn't with him anymore]

And if I promise not to feel this pain,
[gendo didn't show his feelings to anyone...as if showing just how strong and intimidating he is]
Will I see you again?
Will I see you again?
[it's like he's telling yui, that if he remains strong, he'll be with her again...]

'Cause time will pass me by,
Maybe I'll never learn to smile,
[yui's death caused so much grief in gendo...so much grief that never will you see a sincere and wholehearted smile on his face. probably never again, until he finds himself with her once again]
But I know I'll make it through,
If you wait for me...
["i'll be strong, i'll do whatever it takes, as long as i'm with you again]
And all the tears I cry,
No matter how I try,
They'll never bring you home to me
Won't you wait for me in heaven?
[it's like gendo telling yui that "after all this is over, after all the pain is felt, i'll be with you again, reunited with you again...wherever you are]

Do you remember how it was?
When we never seemed to care,
The days went by so quickly,
'Cause I thought you'd always be there...
[looks like they had a lot of great times together, especially in those times they still had the opportunity to be together, probably when they were dating and starting out. and the last thing gendo was expecting was to be away from her]
And it's hard to let you go,
Though I know that I must try,
[until now, he still can't forget what happened to her..]
I feel like I've been cheated,
'Cause we never said goodbye...
[yui's death was so sudden...gendo didn't know what to do since he just loves her so much]

And if I promise not to feel this pain,
Will I see you again?
Will I see you again?

'Cause time will pass me by,
Maybe I'll never learn to smile,
But I know I'll make it through,
If you wait for me...
And all the tears I cry,
No matter how I try,
They'll never bring you home to me
Won't you wait for me in heaven?

'Cause I miss you so, and I need to know...
Will you wait for me?

'Cause time will pass me by,
Maybe I'll never learn to smile,
But I know I'll make it through,
If you wait for me...
And all the tears I cry,
No matter how I try,
They'll never bring you home to me
Won't you wait for me in heaven?

And time will pass me by,
Maybe I'll never learn to smile,
But I know I'll make it through
If you wait for me...
