I remember when we,

Played in our forest at nights...

Talking to the leaves that fell off,

One by one...

We would snicker at the slightest change,

But fear it too...

I remember the words we created together...

They would come off the paper...

Walk into our beds,

And sleep with us...

Cuddling with our own symphonies...

Oh, I remember the time we lost our self control...

When I lost it,

When you lost it...

When the waters raged at our sins...

Forgiven, yet never forgotten...

Colonies of stars would rally just to see our tears...

Yet we would still talk,

Like our masks wasn't cracked...

Like the fire never went out...

Like the nights never left...

Like the moon never winked...

...

Calling each other on the phone...

Your voice sounded so tired...

But I listened to you...

Your lips felt so cracked,

But I smiled at you...

Your eyes looked pale,

But I looked into you...

And saw the coffin that you prepared...

At such a young age,

You had a talent,

Of awakening the dead within you...

The grim reaper bowed for you...

But I didn't care...

I wanted you...

I wanted to save you from the tsunami that tore down your walls...

The cult that was stealing your midnight soul...

The grave-robbers drooling over your bones...

But you wanted something different...

To walk your own path...

Where shadows couldn't be seen...

Where flashlights shined only mirrors...

Endless droughts with no oasis...

And I saw it...

And I knelt before it and screamed...

Ice cream you left it...

Melting a new paradise that was too sweet...

Like caramel candy apples...

My tooth couldn't handle it...

Neither could my mind...

I remember,

When we would laugh at the sky...

At how beautiful it was...

How we wished to fly with it...

How we bathed in fantasies...

In the same room, but different sections...

Would we even stand...

Like different worlds...

I would stand in between it like its nothing...

The space meant nothing...

It meant nothing...

...

So long, Friend...

I know you gotta leave for the summertime...

Where the sun is calling your name...

So long, Friend...

I know you gotta leave for the summer time...

The wind is calling your name...

So long, Friend...

I know you gotta leave for the summertime...

The garden is calling your name...

And I see it...

So long, Friend...

I wish us a better future...

Where we can come back and drink coffee together...

Eat bread together...

Smell the morning sheets together

And dream endlessly together...

...

So long, Friend.
