“Thick mood draping over my shoulder tonight. I feel your questions looming in the back of mind. I want to answer gently. But will you listen?”

Onward through the illusion we travel…
It’s cool that you chose differently than I was hoping.
As you may recall…I am the one who led you directly to her.

“…I cannot really fault this man, for living within the throes of a middle aged crisis, and for chasing the youngest blood to feed off of, right?”

Right.
Your predicament is nothing new, just in case you are thinking it’s the real thing – and that this ’till death do you part’ business means forever.
My advice to the future groom?
Prenup…

Alas…
I’m not trying to be mean here. But, youngsters will be youngsters, mon.
And, as you have trusted in my prophecies of futures’ past…
Mark my words on this next one for the rapidly approaching future…

“She is going to make you work achingly hard for that disjoint you are so desperately clinging to at present. The end will come swiftly, and it will be by your sword, not hers.”

Somehow, I thought you were different, my far-off friend…
Come to find out you were exactly like the rest of us.
Your true origins remained a hidden faction, because I needed to believe you were someone else.
Although, this newfound rationale is indirectly wonderful to bear. To now be staring at the base of a missing idol, releases my disposition as clairvoyant indebted to your service.
For so long I have allowed you to peer inside of my thoughts and to then claim them as your own…never once giving me the credit due.

“But, not anymore, old man. Not anymore.”

Yes, you are an extraordinary person. I believe this absolutely, and my opinion will never falter in regard. My love for you also remains unchallenged, despite these looming disappointments of current. I’ll far outlive this letdown, as I have countless others in passing.

“OMTXtraordinaire…you have swiftly ended this journey as my distant confrère, for a job which entails flipping tricks for candy on sticks.”

As I stated before: It’s cool, though…
We are both getting older here.
Therefore, we must experiment before it is too late, right?
So, if this decision truly makes you happy for some oncoming moments?
Avast ye~ Then, I wish you nothing but happiness and wellbeing, for as long as it lasts.

However, this does not mean I must also swallow the hook and bait alongside of you.
Because I am entitled my opinions, which are only spoken here within the confines of my domain.
So, you can come here, and read, but really have no excuses for maliciousness…since this is the place where I am at liberty to speak freely.
Within breathing range of any of your dwellings? I am, and have always remained silent on such matters.
Nothing in that respect changes.

Now then…
The next scene approaching, is where I board the train, and where you turn to leave the station.
Neither one of us once looking back…
Neither one us, ever forgetting for one moment, where the other stands in time.

As our journey together ends…
So does my sacred folly towards the bonds of a retired fondness.
Wash, rinse, and repeat.
