Watch over me Hikari.
Please stay with me throughout the night.
Don't let me dream such terrible dreams.
Make sure I don't stop breathing,
for this has almost happened many times.
Crouch beside my slumbering form,
hold my hand and stay on guard.
Call all the soldiers in the land,
and animals-to scare away the damned.
Please stay with me tonight my friend,
and organize my nightly fight,
for there is no one else, Hikari, whom I trust to kill my fright.

Strange how it seemed like fighting a war just to fall asleep at night as a child. Good thing I had Hikari.
