Her laugh
Like tinkling bells
Lifted my heart
She took her
Ocarina
Touched it to her lips
Her hair shining
Vivid green
On her face
A beautiful smile
She tooted away
A song of happiness
Of lush forests
Like this one
Of secrets
Like this meadow
This place
Only the two of us knew
I tried to play
My fingers clumsy
She giggled
Together we played
We practiced all day
We were so happy
Together, alone
With my best friend
*
Breathless from adventure
Eager to see her
I ran into the forest
Nothing had changed
Something empty inside
I hadn't seen her
For such a long time
Deku Babas snapped at me
Mad Scrubs bombed me
But I ignored them
Dashing through the woods
I met Mido
He mentioned her name
I played the tune
My fingers now graceful
My notes now smooth
He let me pass
Recognition in his eyes
He apologized
I never heard him talk like that
And for a moment
I wanted to tell him
But I needed to see her again
In the meadow
Moblins attacking
A game of dodging
And then I was there
But she wasn't
Gone
Horrified
The stump she once sat on
Now deserted
She is no longer here
Her song is missing
All is quiet
I weep
*
I ran
Into the beam of light
Hurried
I had to see her
After all these years...
In the Chamber of Sages
I saw
She had not changed
We were still friends
Nothing was different
But tears were in her eyes
As she told me
We could not be together
Destiny forbade it
And I was angry
Hated that thief,
Ganondorf
For tearing us apart
For ruining our lives
A tear leaked out
Quickly, I wiped it away
I could not let her see me cry
