August Winds
Because you had a destiny and I was in your way
But I can still see your face so cleary today
Your funny glasses, your pretty ponytail,
And nightmares torture me even on this distant day.
And it seemed that I had found my place in the end,
Here in this world like Never in an other Land,
But now I know I have been lost till I met you,
And maybe this was true of you, too.
Because the August winds brought horrid news,
Ghosts of the past and familiar blues,
I have been lost, I have been abandoned,
And I don't even get to feel rightfully wronged,
Because it fills me with shame to think about it,
But now I've made the same mistake my father did,
And there isn't a price I wouldn't pay to fix it,
And this loneliness it's lasted longer than I'd like to admit.
Because it seemed the right thing to do,
I was meant to stay away and you to be a hero,
Because we had a destiny but a curse was in our way,
Because you had to save a whole world on a rainy day.
And though I still dream about a place called Tallahasse,
I know that if I found you, you'd never forgive me.
If only I could let you know this was never what I wanted,
That I longed to be a man you rightly trusted,
And this guiltiness it's never left since long ago-
Why did I ever let you go?
Rest in peace, Nealfire.
