There were dragons when I was a boy.
And one day they left. I could not follow. I was not allowed. On that day I felt my soul rip in two.
Now all I have are memories. The good and the bad, the happy and sad. And every time it rains, I climb on my roof and play spot the dragon. I don't ever see any, I must just be bad at it. It's one of the only things that makes me smile anymore. How sad is that? I wish you were still here.
You were warm when it was cold. You could always make me feel better even after I watched people die. You never left my side. Unless there was a good reason. I guess that's why you're not here now.
And I try. I really do. But every time I think about you I feel like I'm falling. And it never stops. Some days I wish I would hit the ground. I'm afraid that if I do, I'll go looking for you. If I do that, I won't stop, not until I found you or died trying.
In the end I just hope you won't forget me. And if you do, I hope that whomever you're with makes you happy. You deserve it. If you're happy I'm happy. I'll hate it, but you deserve it.
I hope one day I see you again. That's my biggest fear. I don't care about the situation or how it happens.
I wish you could have stayed one more day or hour or even a minute.
My world is boring now. There are no adventures. I don't fly. I can't see the tops of clouds anymore. I can't watch the sun set twice in the same day. I can't feel the wind rush through my hair or whistle in my ears. I can't feel the power you brought with every stride you took. Or the confidence you gave me. I've lost all of that.
It brings me back to the memories. They're the only thing that gets me to smile. Remembering the smell of thin air as we climbed to unimaginable heights. The amazing high only you could bring. The freedom you could bring.
You are a god. Or at least to me. No mere dragon could do what you've done. I still bare the scars and marks from our encounters. Just remembering them sets my body ablaze. Your claim on me still burns.
I'm desperate bud. I can't do this anymore. I can't stand this life without you. I'm going to the cove tomorrow. I hope I see you there. If you're not, I'll see you at the table of kings.
I'm on my way bud.
