I loved you in the morning, our kisses deep and warm,
your hair upon the pillow like a sleepy golden storm,
yes, many loved before us, I know that we are not new,
in city and in forest they smiled like me and you,
but now it's come to distances and both of us must try,
your eyes are soft with sorrow,
Hey, that's no way to say goodbye.
I'm not looking for another as I wander in my time,
walk me to the corner, our steps will always rhyme
you know my love goes with you as your love stays with me,
it's just the way it changes, like the shoreline and the sea,

but let's not talk of love or chains and things we can't
untie,
your eyes are soft with sorrow,
Hey, that's no way to say goodbye.

I used to know you intimately
                ultimately
                innately

you were an idea fed and bred within my mind
constantly growing, constantly transforming

recognition of the structure of your face
brought about the most diverse array of connotations

now it seems the threads are gone
the ways your mouth curves into a smile means nothing to me

your gate is merely a walk
your voice is barely a set of vibrations

it is strange how time can heal
                erase
                numb

finally, I am indifferent

I used to fear
the walk down the path.

Passing the graves,
passing the church gates

Seeing where you will lie,
forever, forever and ever and ever

Forever and a day,
I long to see you, speak your name.

But today I saw your grave, peaceful, happy, colourful, alive.
You were there, happy, smiling, alive.

Unforgotten in a yard of hurt,
a glowing symbol of the light you left behind, you left for us, a light to find you.

On your birthday, we celebrate your life,
You would be 20, you will always be 15, you will always be smiling, you will always be alive. Forever.
I want to sleep forever and reside in my dreams
           To frolic through a collage of different spectacles and scenes
                An escape from the insufferable, cruel world at large
I want to sleep forever

I want to sleep forever so I can live in my dreams
           The ruler of the lands, the queen of all kings
               With nothing to fear but the darkside of the conscience
I want to sleep forever

I want to sleep forever and fight my inner demons
        Provide peace of mind for all bothered and exhausted
              Float on utter bliss; those monsters, I'll never miss
I want to sleep forever

I want to sleep forever and never show sadness again
        Bright, long-lasting smiles on weekly sullen days
             Created and maintained in a variety of ways
I want to sleep forever

I want to sleep forever to erase everything
       I want to sleep forever and feel warmth again
           To bathe myself in content that won't ever end
Let me sleep forever

— The End —
