Brand New Day
I…I can't.
"What are you talking about? Of course you can."
No, you don't understand. I can't.
"I know you. You can do anything."
You must not know me that well if you think that.
"Oh, please. I've known you for how long now? How many years? I think I'd know you pretty well by now."
I disagree.
"Harsh."
You don't know where I've been these past years, what I've done…
"So? That doesn't change our time together. I don't care if you've changed – I still know who you are."
I told you I've changed.
"And I told you I don't care. Weren't you listening?"
I…
"What you are is my friend. You have been for a long time, and you still are. I don't care what your fight against the darkness has done to you; it hasn't changed any of what I just said."
…
"And I would help you fight if you would just let me."
…why?
"Because you're my friend, that's why."
No, I mean...why haven't you given up on me yet?
"Because tomorrow's a new day. Tomorrow's always a new day. I know you want to take them all, to live them all.
"And I want to be with you when you do it."
