Beautiful song. And the old girl may be feeling her years, but she has a lot more in her.
I lost a dear friend who I played games with, and in truth I am not only feeling my age today, I am also feeling a bit torn and confused. Had I not started playing mmo's I would never have met him and so many others I am so fond of. But I would also hot have felt this loss. I spent the greater part of my time in game today running around doing aimless busywork, dressed in the yellow that was the signature color of his character. And I wonder if I did him and his open heart a disservice by choosing to mourn his loss rather than celebrating his life. I know there will be many occasions to raise a pint to him, sing one of the old songs and again recall his spirit and jovial manner. Even at his lowest points, when the pain must have been excruciating, he did what he could to cheer all around him.
Your song touched my heart Alira, and made me shed a few more tears not only for my lost friend, but for all friends and brothers I have met and lost in the many lands of mmo's I have walked.
