I didn't save the world for them, the masses. Why should I have? What did they ever do for me? Hate me and shun me because my hair was different; reject me and change me because my blood was unique? They're nothing, I could care less. But if they want to think I saved the world for them in their ignorance, let them. I won't bother with them to tell them any different. It's not worth it; they're not worth it.
I didn't even save the world for her, as much as she loved me. How she could love me, I've never figured out. She didn't know me at all. Fourteen years together in the same small town and she spoke to me twice. Once to have me show her a path for which I eventually took the blame. Once to make me promise to fulfill her own selfish wish. And then I came back, nine years later, and she suddenly loves me. She couldn't even tell I wasn't me.
I might have saved the world for the other one, the one with the gentle touch and bright smile. Maybe if things didn't happen the way they did I would have. But my time with her was too short, and somehow I don't think she was drawn to me because of me. It was because I was you.
I saved the world for you, because you loved the world. You lived in it, thrived in it, laughed in it, cried in it. And in the end, I saved the world because you died in it. You gave the world to me; I won't give it to anyone else.
