Come to a place where you'll never grow old, it's just the blink of an eye away.. Ignite your imagination, set it free, come along with me. Leave the world you live in, full of people who lie and hurt you. A world full of broken promises and dreams, leave that all behind and come with me. You won't regret it.
"Who hurt you?" An elf placed his hand on my shoulder, "I assume you've been messing around with the real world.." He gave a look of concern. I slowly nodded my head as tears continued to stream down my face. "Dear sweet child, you come here to escape all of that. Why would you leave?"
"Because I have to.." I managed to say between sobbing.
"Don't you find all the happiness you need here?" He looked a bit confused.
"It's not that, it's just that I have to return sometimes.. And I don't necessarily want to, but I have no choice.." I wiped away the forming tears under my eyelids.
"I wish you never had to go.." The elf wrapped his arm around me sympathetically and gave me a hug.
"I know, me too.." I responded, "I wish I never had to leave this happy place, it's like waking up from a wonderful dream and being thrust back into reality.. Reality is not always bad, there's good things too, but there's just far too much pain and suffering I'd rather not contend with.."
"I understand." The elf continued to hold me close, "I wouldn't want to either, but I guess you're right.. Sometimes you have no choice, you must return, like an astronaut returns back down to Earth. Reality is not a thing we can shut off completely, it is there and always will be. It's more of a matter of ignoring it and trying to find the happiness in it and sweet escapes. But we musn't just expect everything to be fine and dandy all the time; they say everything comes with a price.. But for this happiness, I'd be willing to pay it.."
