LOST

When I first met you
I thought you were cool.
And I still do! Nothing has changed.

I didn't mind what you did.
Despite how wrong others saw it
I saw it admiring and full of awe.
Your skills were what caught my attention.

That and your age.
I was proud to say you were my first friend that was my age.

I wondered,
how someone as great as you
could stubbornly follow someone
as insignificant as me.

But I didn't question it.
I was just excited for what we had ahead of us.
I was on a journey to find my dad.
And you didn't know what to do.

I remember saving you
from those revolting people you call family.
I remember being mad
when they had taken you away.

I swore to help you live.
Live a life of happiness.
And maybe I was a little selfish
for keeping you around
for my own happiness too.

You stuck with me
Through thick and thin,
As we grew stronger together
and explored the world together,
Promising to stay together forever.

But then it happened.
I found a clue leading to my father
And everything went downhill.

He died.
He was dead.
He was murdered.

The little time I spent with them.
The little time I introduced you to them.
The little time... was all we ever could have had.

Now I was lost.
Only set on revenge.
A vengeful feeling, indeed.

We made a suicide pact.
If one dies
The other does too.

But I rejected you.
I rejected your value,
I rejected your care.

And I didn't notice until it was too late.
I was lost but you saved me.
I'd succeeded in revenge but at what cost?

You saved me. And that was when I realised
How much I meant to you.
How much you needed me
And how much I needed you.

But it was too late.
I had betrayed you.
Guilt had never seized me as hard as this.
Reality sunk in and I knew
We would never be the same.

You left me or I left you.
I can't remember but we probably left each other.
It was better this way, you said.

But I understood what you meant.
Maybe one day,
When the time is right and we're both not lost
Then we'll be each other's light-
Just as we'd promised...
