Now as I think of the old days I wonder if I am remembered. Maybe I have become a legend whose fame heroes aspire to attain or maybe I am worshiped already as one who achieved the impossible, one who became a god. But surely there are some, yes, few but some, who know the true story of a boy that was undaunted by the vastness of the world or the permanence of death. However none but I know the entire story.... Until today.

And now we have fallen,
Just like clockwork angels,
Down to an earthly realm.
And our cogs and gears are rusted,
Our lace and silk has turned to dust,
But we're still here.
The windup clocks no longer tell time,
And the rose gardens don't bloom,
But we'll be fine.
The violin's strings are all broken,
And the orchestra never plays,
But we'll survive.
My parasol is nothing but holes,
And your top hat is faded,
But we can make it.
Because these are immaterial things,
When I have you,
And you have me.
