“There comes a time when you look into the mirror and you realize that what you see is all that you will ever be. And then you accept it. Or you kill yourself. Or you stop looking in mirrors.”
J. Michael Straczynski

i never got to say goodbye,
and now off you go, in the yellowing skies roaming free.
i never got to hold your hand one more time:
last time was the last time…
