Chapter 1 - So Long Ago

It was not so very long ago
When the two of us first met
But I confess the days seem long
And the nights do not come
When you are so far from me

It was not so very long ago
When we laughed together and made merry
Merry
Your name is like a distant call
My heart is empty
My blood runs cold
I feel I am turning into nothing at all

Why did you have to leave me alone?
Though the choice was not yours
But now I am on my own
And my harsh duties
Are merely chores

Why did you have to leave me alone?
I cannot handle being alone
I hate being alone
For I am still afraid of the dark
And I always remember
How you would stay with me
Until the dawn would arise to the larks

It was not so very long ago
When the two of us first met
We have been through so much together
Don't forget me now
Don't leave me now
The days seem so much longer
The night seems to never come
This war will never subside fast enough
When you are so far away from me
