Tonight the candelabra
of moon and stars
fill the room with sprinkling light.
Sleep will not come
This night I open my memories
The ones of you
I will never forget.
Only of you.

I am still not ready to let you go.
Not just yet, stay awhile..
if only in my memory
I close my eyes and see you clearly.
So lovely to me.
So beautiful. So real.

I don’t want to lose that.
Perhaps one day
remembering your face
will be like the words
of a half forgotten tune.
Don't fade away like mist.
Stay in my waking dreams.
The ones I do not
have to awaken from.

Above me
the paper white moon is
surrounded by a million stars.
Already we are just
a familiar memory to them.
One of their sweet ones.
But still
only for a fleeting moment
Of their forever.

I won’t sleep tonight if you stay.
I promise.
It’s just that when you left me.
I was not ready to let you go.

Are the stars and moon still
shining for you in the great forever?
Can you read our life?
Do you see the us that was.
One day I will find you again.
I know for sure.
We will write another beautiful story.

But tonight my love.
Please! Don’t go just yet.
I am just not ready
to let you go
Not Just yet.
