All There Ever Was

*.*.*.*.*

Arthur was all there ever was

All there ever would be

All that mattered

All that didn't

All that was wrong

All that was right

All that was brave

All that was noble

All that was stupid

All that was dazzling

All that was not

All that laughed

All that cried—

He was all that Merlin loved

All that Merlin hated

All that Merlin wanted

All that Merlin needed—

Arthur was all there ever was

And Merlin needed it that way
