>>84114460She is safe, make no mistake. Such efforts were not for waste. Sublunary life of mine, your end is nigh. Once again I lay, this rock my grave. Fearful I am, though not for my mori - a vanished life beside you terrifies me with worry. What could have been, what could have se en... what might it be, to have your hand to cling. Memoirs of mine fade, the void do taketh - breathing my last, it was all so she'd make it... "O' small shrimp who saved me - even listened to my song.
