You used to accept anyone as your own.
You seemed so nice.
You're funny, caring, friendly.
You also turned so conceited.

And you have been around so long.
Making a name for yourself.
Coming and going in this place.
You got taken down by other forces.

And lastly, you were different than them.
So sweet.
The sweetest and strongest person ever.
Always there,

For a while...

Together it was a battle.
A battle of friendship.
A battle of those who do not trust each other.
A battle to be won by no one.

The aimless direction they walk.
For what reason they keep moving on I do not know.
They did it to themselves.
The ones who were on a road to nowhere.

You are lost in yourself.
And you let the forces of nature take you down.
And then there's you,
You who had forgotten and given up on promises.

The end of the walk already came.
They kept on going.
They went below the bottom.
They never even looked around.

They walked straight into the dark.
They walked without even noticing.
In a weird trance they just kept walking.
Right by me as I came out of the dark.
