Some Days




Some days Hiro feels happy.
          He forgets, if only for a few moments, that 'Dashi is gone--
          As though he might be working in the lab or napping at home--
          And the sun is bright, and the sky cloudless, and Hiro learns to laugh again
                    And that's okay.

Other days Hiro remembers.
          He remembers that when Baymax says "Tadashi is here," he isn't--
          He will never be, and will never pig out on pizza or pull an all-nighter in the lab again--
          And the sun is dull, the sky covered in grey, and Hiro feels the tears fall like rain
                    And that's okay.

But some days Hiro does both.
                   (remembers and feels happy)
          He tells himself that Tadashi will always be here--
          In him, and with him, in the battered baseball cap and crumpled paper by the bed--
          And though clouds hide the light, the sun always comes out, and rain isn't always bad
                    And that's okay, too.
