I can still remember.
  She was my first love,
  with hair
  and eyes
  to
  mach
  her fiery
  spirit.
I cannot forget.
  She always went after me,
  trying to
  find and
  capture
  those
  little words she
  craved...
  I can remember how we met.
  How we became allies.
  How we became friends.
  Her fire warmed my heart,
  and made me feel 
  like I could take
  on the
  world.
  But I couldn't touch her.
  My body didn't allow
  for the wonderful
  love she
  deserved.
  I was only
  made for pain.
  She was only
  built tenderly.
  We traveled together for 
  years.
  I always yearned to tell her,
  but couldn't.
  She was a powerful sorceress.
  I was a freak.
  I still remember
  the pain
  of her
  last battle.
The fight.
The magic.
The sword that took her life.
  I held her
  bloody body
  close,
  crying for the first time
  for
  her.
She told me not to cry.
I couldn't stop.
  During her last breaths,
  I spoke the words I
  was too afraid
  to say
  before.
"Lina Inverse... I love you."
  With her last breath
  she spoke the words
  I wished to hear
  before.
"Zelgadis Greywords... I love you..."
  Now I wander,
  not willing to live.
But unable to die.
I can still remember...
