Summary: John tries, to the best of his abilities, to explain why he left to join the Brotherhood and how much Bobby meant to him. Poem. Bobby/John

Disclaimer: I do not own the X-Men. If I did I would not by forced to write fanfics about these things. They would just happen.

Author's Note: Hey, I was thinking the other day about how annoyed I was that the movies never really elaborated as to why John left for the Brotherhood, so I decided to write this fic cause, in my mind, this is why John left.

Bobby,

Nobody understood me,

I was the apathetic teen,

But no one saw the side of John,

That only you had seen

They knew me just as Pyro

One step shy of mental help

But only you knew the things

That I had kept to myself

They flaunted lying smiles

They thought I didn't have a clue

But I knew I wasn't trusted

By anyone, but you

So as I'm sure you know, I left

I can't really explain why

I probably couldn't find the words

If I were even to try

They'll all call me a traitor

(Rouge will probably say it most)

I just pray that you won't raise your glass

In her "Good Riddance, Pyro" toast

My only hope is that you'll miss me

Like I'll miss you every day

But even if I'm forgotten

I'll always love you anyway

--Love John
