'I'm here, aren't I? '
Yes, you are.
And you always will be.
You are a lasting memory that will never be forgotten.
The sheer thought of not having you pains me,
But the prospect of losing memories of
You or your friendship pains me greater.
I will indulge myself in this pain,
For it is much sweeter a wound
Than one of forgetfulness and lovelessness.
'Talk to me. Aren't you happy I'm here? '
Ah, yes. I am.
Nothing could make me any happier than I am now.
Just your presence here soothes me greatly.
'Why aren't you saying anything? '
I just want to hear you voice.
It is the most beautiful sound in the world.
No symphony could match the intensity
Of which your voice excites me.
'I'm leaving.'
I have to say something.
'Wait. I-'
'Yes...? '
'I need to be alone. Go away.'
