My old friend, I recall
The time we had are hanging on my wall
I wouldn't trade them for gold
Cause they laugh and they cry me and
somehow sanctify me
And they're woven in the stories I have told
And tell again.
I remember all those times we shared together, sharing secrets, you trying, no matter how feebly, to make me popular, we all know how good that worked. I would never want to trade those memories, you were, well, still are my best friend. Those were the best times that I've ever had. I look back on them and they make feel like at least part of my life is worth living... I tell Fiyero those stories of the fun we've had over and over.
My old friend I apologize
For the years that have passed since the
last time you and I
Dusted off those memories
But the runnin' and the races and the
people and the places
there was always somewhere else i had to be
And time gets thin my old friend
When I pretended that I died it was all for everyone's own good, I wish I could have told you those many years ago but it was just too dangerous, for you, me, and for Fiyero. I have been wishing ever since that last day when we said goodbye that we could just talk to each other and you could at least know that I was alive. I've always been in hiding I couldn't really contact you and I regret that.
Don't know why, don't know why
Don't know why, don't know why
I don't know why I did this to you.
My old friend this song's for you
Cause a few simple verses was the least that I could do
To tell the world that you were here
And the love and the laughter will live on long after
All the sadness and the tears
And we'll meet again my old friend
You were the only friend that I have ever had, you were there for me when no one else was, I only wish I could have been there for you instead of hiding the way I did. Now that the wizard is gone maybe we can meet...someday.
Goodbye, Goodbye
Goodbye, Goodbye
My old friend
I'm sorry I did this to you I hope you can forgive me.
Your Friend,
"Elphie"
I finished writing and I sealed the envelope. I took out one of those already sticky, no lick stamps, and pressed it onto the envelope. And I wrote Glinda's address on the front as well as my own and place the envelope in the mail box...
THE END! Hope you like it! R&R! This is my first Wicked fic, so constructive criticism is good!
