...I still remember the world from the eyes of a child...
"Sammy, damn it, leave me alone. I'm fine. I swear when Dad gets back, I'm going to have him shoot you."..."Yeah, of course he'll be back, dumb ass."..."I told you, he's visiting Pastor Jim; won't be back for a few days."..."Dude! Grow up. Go play or something. You're bothering me."..."Sam, I'm warning you...stop asking. I'm fine."..."NO, I'M NOT CRYING! I'M FINE! GO AWAY!"...
..."I'm...fine"...
...Slowly, those feelings were clouded by what I know now...
..."Look, Sammy...it was just a dog, okay?"..."No, I didn't like that stupid dog. It smelled bad."..."Dad told me to get rid of it, so I did, okay?"..."What?"..."How the HELL did you know that!?"..."You tell Dad?"..."Not a word to him, got it?"..."Dad!"..."Y-yes sir, I got rid of him."..."N-no, Sammy was talking about a different dog, promise."..."No!, He's gone! Dad, no! NO!"...
..."I'm...fine"...
...Where has my heart gone?...
..."Dad?"..."I was wonderin'...is Mom...um..."..."Is she...an Angel?"..."N-no, I didn't mean it like...Sorry."..."Yes sir."..."Don't...exist"...
..."I'm...fine"...
...I still remember the sun, always warm on my back...
..."This is so epic!"..."Aw c'mon, Sammy!"..."Get your butt in this boat before I kick it."..."Dad won't find out!"..."Look, if he does, it was my idea, my plan, and I made you come with me. Okay?"..."Awesome!...Let's go."...
..."I'm...fine"...
...Somehow it seems colder now...
