A clear day, a smile upon our faces,
Wondering, leaving behind traces of
Nostalgia as we're lost in thought
Only replying with smirks and grins
As we look back upon our lives together so far;
As we wait at the stop for the arrival
Of our means of transportation to
Ferry us a ways to the store.
"Do you remember?" Allison asks her.
"Do we remember?" Satiana interjects.
"Of the times we sat outside watching the
Incandescent evening glow?" Says Allison.
"Or when we used to sit on the river
Banks watching the wildlife do as they do
On windy spring mornings?" Yrlana replies.
"And the summer mornings
When we'd lie asleep next to each other,
Dreams intertwining making our fantasies
One and the same?" Says the Succubus.
"I'd like..
To go back to those days for a change!
Maybe someday.." Eris continues her statement.
The bus pulls up, we pay, we sit down.
"I remember.. kind of." Allison replies with a grin.
"Of all those times when we were
Children so innocent and young.."
She thinks om it. She feels like something or someone is missing from that staterment.
Yralana and Sati look on as she pauses,
then follows up with:
"I remember we used to wonder
Of the worlds treasures so wonderfully
Filled with knowledge"
Allison hesitates.
"I remember we used to wonder
About who we were going to be
Though we still don't know, do we?"
They sense she's nervous now.
"I remember we used to wonder
About dazzling stars in the sky,
What life would be like..
How we'll get by." Eris breaks the silence.
"I remember we used to wonder
The meaning of our being, do you both still wonder
what more there is to be gleaning?"
Yrlana tries to delicately chime in.
Dissociation sets in.
Thoughts become one in the same in the ensuing silence.
"I remember we used to wonder
Of our place in this ocean of a sea
Of a world.."
Some time passes by.
Soon at our destination we'll arrive.
"I remember we used to wonder
If we'd ever be friends." Allison says reluctantly.
"We remember alotta things" Satiana tries to add comedically,
trying to give some relief.
"Indeed we do" Allison chuckles to her in response.
"But of the things we still wonder;
The moments to come that
We'd rather like to spend and share
With you." Yrlana adds.
Even if you're not her... even if you're not Sophie.
Yrlana tries to think to herself without the others
Catching on.
Satiana disregards and pretends she didn't hear that.
They all exchange glances for a moment.
"Because of all the things we'll learn
We'll still sit back and wonder
What is love?
What are the matters that make us?
How long can we keep this going?
Will we always work together?
What will be our price to pay..?
When the hurt will stop." Allison tries to say and not seem down.
"I hope we'll find out you, and me."
Sati says, a little forelorn as we get off.
And they slip a reassuring kiss onto Allison's cheek caringly;
As Sara watches on in jealousy.
And then
We remember we used to wonder
If calling those of us that have bonded sisters
And the others that care for us our mothers was meant to be?
How long can we keep this up if some us us just want to die?
Allison tried to think to herself, but Yrlana is too wise for her.
