Eternally Bonded

A Song heard during Phase 4 of Ar tonelico II: Melody of Metafalica.
This song was sung by Reisha in her deathbed, shortly after she sacrificed her own life to protect Luca from Raki. This song serves as her final blessing for both of her daughters, wishing for both of them to be happy and to spend their lives in the best way possible. While it's supposed to be sung by Reisha, there are also a few parts in which the song seems to be a duet with Luca.
It's one of the songs that demonstrates the best the "Bonds" theme that serves as the core of Ar tonelico II: Melody of Metafalica, both by telling us how much importance we should give to our families, and also telling us one of the cruelest lessons of the real world: nothing lasts forever.
Also known as Eternally Connected.

==Feelings Contained in This Song==
Forgivable things, unforgivable things.
There are many unforgivable things, because they are very important.
I know, I know it very well.
It's because of these things that I cannot forgive,
that I believe in you so much.
Things I wish I understood, things I wish I could ask.
In many occasions, I have wanted
to become one with you, my precious person.
But that is something impossible.
Because you are you, and I am I.
That is why it is so painful, that is why it is so bitter
And yet, I cannot forgive you.
But...
I know, I know it very well.
Even if there are so many things I wish I understood,
even if there are many joyful feelings I wanted to convey to you,
Because I cannot convey them, because I cannot feel them at all...
does not mean that you are evil in the slightest.
Will I be unable to forgive you forever?
But still, I am just at your side.
Do as you like, and I will do as I like.
Even if I can't convey these feelings, nor I am able to feel them,
I want to reduce the distance between us to even less than grains of sand
That is why I am just beside you.
Because that happiness is what fills my heart more than anything.
