Do you remember anything yet?
I remember “Team commander to…”
Sam! Hello, love.
Did you have a good day?
What’s the matter?
I can’t do it!
Do what?
Not on my own! It’s too difficult!
She’s depending on me! They all are!
Sam, I haven’t the faintest idea what you’re on about,
but I’m sure we can work it out.
How?
It’s on the tip of my tongue!
Think, Milo! What did you do together?
Did you sing? Did you dance? Did you go adventuring?
We did!
Us too! We made up the most amazing adventures out of nothing
stuff we found in the street.
But with a little imagination we could turn it into…
A pirate ship! A treasure map!
“Team Commander to…”
Yes?
Sam!
I’m sure that’s right!
I think I sort of, kind of, might remember:
a house and a garden,
that was tiny as can be,
where we would play.
That’s it, Milo! Now hold onto it.
I have never let myself forget
any of the wonderful things that my friend and I used to do!
I remember!
Once, we found this box,
it had this lid with rusty locks on top.
Only two best friends could see
the million things one box could be
and we would play every day.
We’d battle through the jungle
or build castles in the sand;
fight some evil wizards
or kill enormous dragons burning through the land.
When he was there
with me side by side.
When Sam was there
We never went inside.
I remember…
Don’t forget!
Don’t let go!
You must know he’s still a part of you:
your guiding star.
’Cause all the fun you had
has made you who you are.
I was emptying out the bin yesterday, and I found this.
Mum! I threw that away for a reason! It’s kids’ stuff!
I know I talked to you about Milo, Sam.
But you were happy back then.
When I said you had to live a bit more in the real world,
I didn’t mean you had to leave your imagination behind completely.
Of course I want you to do well at school,
but there’s more to life than exams.
You should be discovering new things that interest you.
Making friends. Being happy.
And if you can’t be happy without him, Sam.
Bring him back.
What if he’s gone?
What if he’s gone and he’s not coming back.
Sam, just call his name.
It’s true we do not stay the same forever,
but the part of you that’s best,
that spark that stands out from the rest,
It’s still in there.
Somewhere.
Milo,
I miss your smile.
I know this place is like a dream come true.
I said you must grow up and, while that’s true.
Don’t forget where fun began
’cause when a boy becomes a man
he’ll need that too.
You will too.
Close your eyes,
search within
and begin to feel the joy you shared
for years before.
And that way what you’ve lost
can all be real once more.
Darling.
Think of the exploring!
Hunting monsters in the night!
Find it there once more, my darling boy.
you can still play cowboys, soldiers.
Ready for the fight!
Just remember.
Sam was there
Milo was there
with you by your side.
When he was there
you never had to hide.
’Cause all the fun you had
All the fun
has made you who you are.
I still don’t know what to do.
Yes you do. You just have to imagine.
