Chapter 4 - Rune's view of Rath
****************~~~
Are you really there?
I see you everyday and yet I wonder.
Is that really you or is that someone else.
I never noticed before.
Not once had I thought.
That maybe you cried inside.
That maybe you were hurt.
That maybe you were hiding something.
Something only you were allowed to know.
I watch you now.
And realize as I sit here.
That I know nothing about you.
Nothing at all.
Because I hadn't wanted to know.
Hoping that maybe this fear was nothing and I had thought just maybe it would go away.
I never noticed, never knew, never paid any attention to your sorrows.
Yet you always listened to mine.
I had known you for so long.
And only now I noticed the act you always play.
I had enough of my own problems.
....How selfish that all seemed now.
I call myself your friend.
Yet I know nothing about you.
Nothing at all.
