"Again? Yet I remain."

Sometimes, when I turn my back,
I see the rain coming.
Dark and dreary in the background,
It darkens the sky and cools the air.

How could it come to this?
Last time it was this, and now it's that!
I find it hard to believe that you could
Fly so hard in the face of danger...

Twice, thrice, many times before,
This same thing has happened
This very same thing!

I've seen it too much for too long.

I've lost my hope for you, but not completely...
Sometimes I still wonder what
It would be like if things were different...
How different would life's flavor be?

This is the last time I swear it
The very last time I allow this to happen.
It's caused too many problems, too much pain.
This stops now.

I said this years and years ago,
And yet it continues...
I cannot control you, though I have tried.
You are too unpredictable.

So I release you to your whim,
But not completely.
I release you to your chosen life of pain,
But I will still be here, fighting.

Don't lose sight of me, or forget me.
Though you are blind to me, I am here.
Though you are deaf to me, I still speak.
Though you cannot feel me, I still nudge you on.

I will not lose you to this.
You will come back to me in time...
Until then, I wait here patiently by your side,
Holding your hand all the way...
