Your image haunts my dreams, like an owl masters the night.
I see you walking, eyes sparkling like the fire you surround.
That beautiful but simple smile, takes my breath away as it once did in this world.
I beg of you, to let me live in peace, or at least allow me to sleep the sleep of the innocent.
My heart and soul still long for you, yet you are no longer here.
I am left to wander this world by myself, solidarity being my penance.
Forgive me for who I was, accept me for who I am, and prepare me for who I will be.
I will never know love again, but I will have your memory.
