Looking back upon the years,
I remember the time we sat and laughed.
When all we knew how to do was have fun.
Our lives consisted of Nintendo and each other.
We cared not what the future brought,
for we knew we would face it together.

Our lives changed, as all lives do,
yes we were still as one.
We laughed together, we cried together,
we yelled together, we sat together.
Life was good, life was fun.
The daytime brought stories of incidents of humor.
The nighttime brought excitement, making the stories.
Our paths seemed inseparable.

Then it happened.  
No one knows what, no one knows when, but we all know it did.
Slowly our friendship began to shake,
Slowly our bond began to break.
We still shared the moments of hilarity,
but they weren't quite as funny.
We could still sit in silence with on another,
but not for the same reasons.
It was happening.
The path that seemed unbreakable began to branch.
We found others to share our moments with,
others to laugh with others to cry with.
We were making new bonds.

We tried to save it.
It seemed to work at first,
but it wasn't the same.
We talked, but we didn't feel.
We laughed, but it wasn't funny.
We cried, but there were no tears.
Brick by brick, our foundation crumbled.

Then there I was,
Stretched beyond my limits.
In each hand I held a friend,
friends desparately trying to flee.
Finally, I could take no more.
My fingers slipped, my palms gave way,
the years of Nintendo were lost.  

Now I am here.
Alone.
I know not where my friends are,
nor do I wish to take their path.
My life has finally emerged.
I do not know where the future will lead,
but for the first time I am scared.
I will not have them by my side.

I miss those days of Nintendo.
