To A Friend
(dedicated to Marta)
by
Nike

I walked alone in a shadowed land
pushing Silence like a mad man.
Yet, sometimes it just wasn't enough
I even tried tearing away the time.

What was once one, split into two
And spent eternity searching for one another.
But fate brought them in unison,
filling the empty space of forever.

Yet now, standing in the wind,
one must leave the other.
Soon, darkness will come
and hide that treasured smile forever.

You don't have to say sorry
just close your eyes and walk away.
Turn your back into the twilight
and leave me alone on this lonely way.

Someday, I know you will come back
and things will go as they will.
But until that time comes
I walk through them alone still.

Yes, you say you have to go.
I know I shouldn't care
but still, you should know better
than to say goodbye later.

Leaving is not painful
but good-byes are forever
If you have to leave, do it now
for I don't want to see you go.
