Garrett and Elmina

By: Chibi-chan

*

I thought I was brave,

I thought I could protect you,

I thought a lot of things,

But I still lost you.

*

I knew you did love me,

I knew you wanted to be brave,

I knew you better than you’ll ever know,

But you still ran away.

*

I ran like the coward I was,

(Maybe I still am)

It was not until that day I stopped and looked back,

And saw myself for who I was.

*

What Alhazard did to me,

I’d rather not recall.

I don’t want to remember anything,

The pain is far too great.

*

Elmina, I’m sorry,

I couldn’t do a thing back then.

I will not run anymore,

I will make amends… right now!

*

Garrett, you’ve finally found out

You do have courage after all.

I’m just sorry it’s far too late.

Farewell, my dear knight…

*
