I recall the time we met
You were so strange to me
I tried to earn your friendship
I just guess I couldn't see

I could not bring myself to say
How lonely I had been
I had no beach to walk on
No family, no friend

I ordered you around all day
You never said a word
I was too harsh, I was afraid
I know that sounds absurd

But I was young back in those days
I could not understand
I did not want to hurt you
My life had been so bland

You stayed away for several weeks
Until that fateful day
When I was injured, dying
And you helped my life to stay

You formed a bond of friendship
I could never comprehend
But I at least know one thing
I may now call you my friend

It's been eight years since that event
Three since I saw you last
You left me out amongst the stars
You left me in the past

And now I see you back with me
But not as you once were
You never smile, never laugh
You never shed a tear

What did I do, to make you leave?
Why'd you return this way?
Is it my fault? What did I do?
Tell me what I should say

What's done is past, it cannot change
I can't rewind the clock
Let's start all over, from the day
I met a man named Spock.
