You Never Miss The Water Till...

I wonder how he's doing.  I honestly do.

"Now you're doing well, from stories I hear tell.
You own the world again.  And everyone's your friend.

Always remember, my friend, the world will change again.
And you might have to come back through everywhere you've been..."
Old friend.
