   I can't remember a time.
   when you weren't here by my side
   when you didn't pick up my shattered soul
   and hold me when I cried

   I can't remember a time.
   when your smile didn't bring the light
   when your gentle gaze didn't break through
   and give me back clear sight

   I can't remember a time.
   when you weren't half of my whole
   when steel forged bond of brotherhood
   didn't infuse my soul

   I can't remember a time.
   when I didn't call you friend
   when I didn't know you would stand by me
   until our story's end

THE END
