i thought you will last forever. in the same way i thought poetry only rhymes. but it doesn't, and so are you. it was a long time ago. too long to remember now but i do, anyway. like fireflies on a  summer's eve, you illumined every path leading to this final solitude. briefly but brightly. the show was beautiful while it lasted; i'm honest enough to admit that. but like everything you ever taught me: illusion has a way of obscuring reality. it was a little late when i became aware of your cryptic absence. for a while, i thought you would come back. no, i believed you would. over the years, though, that faith slowly dampened. until, one day, it completely disappeared. like you. i wonder, from that first moment, were you ever there at all?
