I was to forget,
Everything that happened between us.
(A locket, gold lettering on wood: Friends forever)
I was to forget,
What hast transpired in thine world--
Now mine.
(A howling battle-cry, a shadowy enemy)

We were comrades, friends, family
Along a dark and lonely road.
(Two friends, holding hands, in a shadowed forest)
We part as strangers never met,
We who once were friend.
(No recognition as two pairs of eyes meet... and turn away)
All that passed but a dream.
(Images swirl into a surreal blur)

I remember, though.
If only in dream.
(A figure, staring out into the darkness, waiting)
Nothing is left, for me,
Of thee and thine world.
(A cry. It was mine world too!)
Nothing, but shadows of memory.
(The figure turns away. Who was I waiting for?
Nobody, whispers the wind.)

If only... I could have said goodbye.

(A single tear...)
