Maybe, if I were better than you,

I would have killed you there.

Maybe, if I were better than you,

You wouldn't have bothered to spare

My life because no one would

Do so to a threat.

Maybe, if I were better than you,

I would have anticipated your speed.

Maybe, if I were better than you,

I wouldn't have made you see the need

To follow Rem's request.

You should have killed me.

Maybe, if I were better than you,

You would have been my final test.

Maybe, if I were better than you,

I could finally say that I'm the best.

But, alas, I am not, and

You most definitely are.
