She was waiting for a friend,
He's coming here today.
She hasn't met him yet,
But they came close to meeting a few times.
Something always pulled her away,
But he never stops trying to find her,
So he can bring her home.

Today is different,
Today they will finally meet.
For her,
Life's but a walking shadow,
Not really here,
Not really there.
Today she is going home.
She is leaving life to go with  him.
Her heart begins to fade,
Yet,
A smile,
Appears on her face.
She is cold to touch,
But she only feels warmth inside,
He comes to her side,
And takes her hand.
And with last breath,
She says,
"Hello Death".
