So I've been replaying all the KH games a lot and came across the poems at the end of Re:CoM...
Sora's playthrough:
Riku's playthrough:
So I never gave these poems much thought before but now I feel like there is almost definitely some deeper meaning to them. I think they probably foreshadow future events in the KH series. From which character's perspective are these poems? What are they refering to in these poems? What do you guys think?
My initial thoughts for the first one is that the "usual street" has something to do with traverse town. I really can't decide who the poem is supposed to be talking about. Sora and Namine? Roxas and Namine? Roxas and Xion? Roxas and Hayner, Pence and Olette? Maybe even Axel and Roxas?
For the second one, I feel like the "forgotten promise to keep" is a reference to Sora's promise to Namine towards the end of Re:CoM. However, the rest of the poem doesn't feel like it's between Sora and Namine at all. Also during this poem we get a scene of Roxas with the twilight town crew so I kinda feel like it has to have something to do with Roxas. What's even more mysterious is the last line. What is "another promise to keep"? Could we have seen that already or might this be something we'll see in KH3? Just a thought.
Sora's playthrough:
There is always sleep between part and meet
with our usual words on the usual street
So let us part like we always do...
and in a world without you
I'll dream of you
When I come to, let us meet
with our usual words on the usual street
Riku's playthrough:
Beyond the path without you
is a forgotten promise to keep.
We may have walked side by side,
but now we go on back to back.
And though our paths may not cross,
all paths are connected somewhere.
When I arrive at where you are,
we may not appear to be as we were...
But we'll make another promise to keep.
