I was sitting in a corner with my face buried in hands, weeping.
Then she sat next to me, placed a hand on my shoulder and held me close.
I wept even harder, and yet I felt so much better.

Together, we walked the school grounds like we're of royalty and nobility.
Together, we defied rules from science to morality.
We pulled each other up, gave each other a boost
Shared our baon and our deepest, darkest secrets.

I stood by your door, looking for you
I asked around for you; they said you just left.
I turned around and saw you -15 feet away.
I ran, caught up, and tapped your shoulder.

You turned around... No wonder I missed you.
Facing me was a face I could not recognize
I tried to find the person I once knew and always loved, but I failed.
Ahead of me stood an odd figure. distorted. unknowable.
