She watches him from afar In a place that man has not seen Dreaming of a life that can no longer be Lightning strikes a cold hard truth in this reality Alone, in his room, he is crying Labels himself murderer, the sorrowful wind sighing Was it her own life she took, or was it his? His newly-found loneliness shatters the silence There is a sad truth to face here, For when he is gone, he wont see her. Or, perhaps, she wont see him -- she took her path blindly He refused her, but she is punished for trying Forever he will have to wonder -- Would life be any better if his answer was 'yes'? Of course it would be -- knowing the consequences But he had no idea that this was all just a test She wanted to love him, he already did To him she was family, his only best friend. Why did she want to be part of his life? The answer he gave resulted in her end The years pass by, and he feels much better, Remembers the times, the feelings, the memories. But how everything happened still seems like a mystery, that the person who's alive now is not her, but me.
