Hello old friend. It’s been a while.
I know I said I didn’t want to see you anymore.
But these empty hands make me nervous.
I gave you away.
I’ll admit I felt better.
But I just don’t know who I am without you.
You keep me stuck, but I feel secure.
Come here.
Just for a moment.
My how you’ve grown.
You were tiny a second ago.
I think I changed my mind.
Go away. You’re scaring me.
I don’t think I want you anymore.
Please leave.
Oh no. You’re still here.
And you’re bigger now.
How could I ever give you my strength?
You’re right. I can’t fight.
I’m not strong enough.
But wait.
I know a Lion. And He’s bigger than you.
And he’s prettier, too.
I remember now!
He’s beat you before. Lots of times.
How could I forget?
I guess it’s been a while since you and I last met.
Well that’s it, old friend. The Lion is coming.
Hopefully it will be longer this time, before I think I need you.
Maybe never.
He’s here.
He always comes.
Goodbye, old friend.
