Toy soldiers

One step further from the edge,
One step closer to eternity...

---

Remember the times when we believed in foreteller...
The Gipsy used to menace: didn't let her.
We had our own Magic. His shadow never fades,
Our guru fought a match against AIDS.

Our sparkling eyes needed no cover,
In silence promised not to cry in front of each other:
'The soldiers do not cry' you said.
Instead they die, but tears are never shed.

My back yard used to be our battle field,
My brother? Our enemy.
You two were treating me like boy,
It's pity I'm no longer one...

In summer heat we used the same fort as in December cold.
The only difference: water-guns replaced white snowballs.
I was too weak for you, Don and Michela knew it
Still they called me Leo, the leader of the ninja turtles.

We learned to share among us even blame
But I recall the crystal that you did break at eight.
While playing basketball your grandma opened the door:
'She shouldn't be in living room, it's not your fault... '

Remember the times when we grew up together...
Our lives would never be the same without each other.
Now we're adults, no longer need one of another,
But I'll remember us and the time we spent together.

Each step moves us closer to eternity,
Each step brings us further from our edge...
