We were happy
Of course we were happy for you
When you smile and when you cry and when you breathe and when you exist
We were just happy to tag along from a distance
watching you grow and change and learn and trip
and you never gave in
and you never looked back
and our arm has grown old from holding it out for so long
and the crinkles around the eyes just a hint at the abysms in our heart
And we yearned for you to remember
just once
sorry if this time we were too foolish in love
but, honestly, dear
in which timeline could we ever let go?
Loki looks through the window one more time.
Trumpets play over and over again, a steady rhythm that does nothing to soothe the ache
He wants
he wants as if it was the very first day
but it could never be enough
He could never be enough
Time proves it,
over and over again
Another lifetime, another chance
Mobius never turns around
He doesn't even think about remembering
