Photograph of You
Where are you goin'?
I never heard you say goodbye
Dot Matrix sat in her bed, rubbing her sore and tired temples, shaking herself from the nightmare she had just had. The more she hated. It wasn't a nightmare, really. It had happened. She remembered it clearly. They had been on that platform, waiting for Megabyte and Hexadecimal to do their job in ridding the system of the web creatures that had invaded. Then it happened. Megabyte had Bob in his hands and the young guardian was thrown inside that capsule and sent into the Web. Dot had wished she had said all the things she wanted to, then when he returned, she still couldn't say what she wanted.
And then...this.
I know it's showin'
You tried your hardest not to cry
Dot remembered the look on his face, as she had chosen their enemy over the sprite she loved. Holding back any potential tears that could come, Dot looked over and saw a jpeg that had been taken two hours earlier, one she had taken herself.
I took a photograph of you
Getting out of bed, she slowly padded over to the jpeg. In it, Bob and Enzo stood, smiling, and standing in front of the Diner.
The innocence of just we two
The young command.com stared at the picture, remembering the happier times they had shared together, the innocence of those times, before the Web, before being lost to the games, before the horrors of Megaframe, before...everything. When she, Bob, and Enzo had been friends...been a team.
With his arm around all your life
The guardian stood with his arm around the young sprite, putting a weary smile on the woman's face. Her eyes settled on the handsome blue sprite, her throat constricting with emotion.
I think about you every day
Across the way, in a small apartment, the guardian known as Bob sat holding a jpeg in his hands. He had spent the last few seconds trying to get a hold of one Dot Matrix and having absolutely no luck. He needed to see her, to quell the thoughts he was having. Looking at the picture he held, he frowned. It was taken soon after Daemon's defeat, during a get together in the Diner. It showed him and the lovely Dot Matrix.
Only it wasn't him.
I wonder what he said
How he got inside your head
The frown became a scowl as Bob remembered where he was during this grand celebration. He had been in the med unit recovering and he could clearly remember that the beautiful green sprite in that picture had never visited him and looked so happy. The couple in the jpeg looked good together...they had looked together at their wedding as well.
Only it wasn't him.
As I watched you walk a way up
Way up, way up
Bob shook his head and placed the picture down. He didn't know why he had it in the first place, all it did was drive him random about why he and Dot couldn't be together. And she wouldn't even let him see her or even talk to her.
And now you're going
No time to stop and say I tried
To easy knowin'
How hard your leaving feels inside
The blue guardian didn't understand anything anymore and unfortunately the best person who could, wouldn't talk to him. He chuckled, thinking that Hex would come in handy right about now. But she wasn't there and he'd have to handle this himself. It put a whole new spin on things. He had never had so much trouble with a girl before, but maybe it was because he was young then. But now that he was older, he figured things would be a little better. Not worse.
He again glanced at the photo beside him.
I saw a photograph of you
The innocence of just we two
Bob stared at the green sprite in the jpeg.
I think about you every day
He loved her. Loved her so much, he wasn't willing to give her up. Not yet. Not ever. And tomorrow, he was going to do something about it.
I wonder what he said
How he got inside your head
As I watched you walk a way up
Way up, way up
