Our Secret Fort

[Intro]
[Slow acoustic guitar picking, soft wind atmosphere]

[Verse 1]
We were like brothers, bonded by soul,
Two halves of a story, a heart that was whole.
Like twins in the mirror, we shared every dream,
But life ripped the stitches and broke every seam.
It happened so fast, in the blink of an eye,
The light went away, leaving only "goodbye".

[Chorus]
My friend, why did you leave me all on my own?
My heart is a house where I’m living alone.
How can I stay here? How can I be?
When the half of my world is no longer with me.
Oh, brother, why did you go?

[Verse 2]
I’m back at the place where our childhood was kept,
Where we made our oaths while the tired world slept.
Our "Headquarters" hidden in bushes and weeds,
It still remembers our laughs and our deeds.
But now it’s just wood, and the rot, and the dust,
Like an old silver key covered over in rust.

[Bridge]
[Piano melody starts, very sad and slow]
The whispers of ghosts in the rustling leaves,
The shadow of us is the only thing breathes.
I’m calling your name to the cold, empty sky,
But silence is all that I get in reply.

[Final Chorus]
My friend, why did you leave me all on my own?
My heart is a house where I’m living alone.
How can I stay here? How can I be?
When the half of my world is no longer with me.

[Outro]
[Guitar fades out slowly]
Still here in our fort...
Waiting for you...
My brother...
[Final soft note]
[End]
