John's p.o.v

Weakly, you crawl to me.

I gather you up into my arms

and whisper sweet nothings.

Our winter song, endgame

prophesies trouble is coming soon.

For as long as the sun and moon

continue to shine, I will stay true

to you. Escaping youth, our carefree days

that were full of less anguish.

The essence of memories is being able to cherish

what we lost in the fire. I can cope without your presence,

but hope won't let me cut off all ties.
