I remember I told you to stay on the ship
And 'mind the store' while I was gone...
But you disobeyed orders, and gave Bones the slip,
For, some way, you knew something was wrong...
My homing device had malfunctioned somehow
With the proton bomb ready to blast...
I ran back to the shuttle, and crouched in it's bow,
And prayed death would be painless, and fast...
Then... the blast! But it merely had stunned me,
(I'm amazed that I ever lived through it...)
And I woke, being carried so effortlessly
That I knew only one who could do it...
I couldn't move, couldn't speak, and you had not
Seen my eyes open... You thought I was dead...
And the glimpse that I got proved to me that
Your genes were quite human, as Bones often said...
That calm, cool, expressionless mask was long gone,
And your face, so unchanged by the years,
Was twisted with grief, and I know that as long as I live
I'll remember your tears...
Well, things turned out just fine on that long ago day,
And on other occasions since then...
But, just for the record, allow me to say
Deepest thanks, and... I love you, my friend.
