Time Wish Dream

I walked a familiar path of my old life and stumbled upon you grazing,

You noticed me and bolted for the frozen riverside.

I gave chase and tackled you to the snow-covered ground.

Fear struck your heart, but I was there to protect you.

It peered at me from the other side of the snow-covered tree root.

It reared its ugliness and I roared with all my might.

I held you tight with all strength, protecting what I once loved.
