I once thought of death
as the ultimate adventure,
but when you went away
my whole mind changed.
Fun and childhood
was what I desperately wanted,
not caring that my feelings
were supposed to disappear.
But you stirred something
I thought dead inside me.
You brought me life, warmth,
and another kind of smile.
Flying with you became
the only thing I wanted to do.
Not even the Lost Boys
or the tales were as important.
Dancing with you at night,
made me fell in an enchantment.
and I feared all the power
you had over my heart.
I sent you away with words,
harsh, hateful and ungallant:
words of a boy, not of man.
And like I child I regretted them.
My words led you to danger
and I had to save you
for purely selfish reasons:
I wanted you for myself.
And when danger became on me
it was you, Wendy, who saved me.
You gave me a thimble to protect me.
To remind me of the love you had.
I don't remember a time
when I felt happiest than that day
when your lips where on my cheek
and your heart along with mine.
No longer was I unloved,
but you still had to go.
And you left Neverland,
leaving me behind to never grow.
My smile of goodbye
was nothing but a lie,
because I would never
forget you, Darling.
And even if you said
you wouldn't either
I was sure growing up
would change your mind.
I remember, Wendy,
your smile, eyes and lips.
as if it were only yesterday
when you were here, with me.
Now, every day that passes
I regret I'm not with you.
I rather grow old and die
with my beloved by my side.
To live would be
an awfully big adventure,
but the ultimate adventure
would have been loving you.
