R.I.P, my darling

Rest in peace, my darling.

                            Sometimes I feel that we should wait.

                            Just a second, hesitate.

                            One more moment, contemplate,

                            The inevitable that is destined to us.

Rest in peace, my darling.

                            I wish I hadn't, Pain, invite

                            Freely in a fiery thought

                            A life anew, a love, ignite

                            In that first new friend I sought.

Rest in peace, my darling.

                            Before we plead and seal our fate,

                            Let memory briefly resonate.

                            On others, lost at last, too late.

                            To deter our hearts from another's future.

Rest in peace, my darling.

                          But then, I think no new regret

                          Could wish your existence never in mine.

                          For though there is pain, newly beset,

                          I cherish the happiness since whence we met.

Rest in peace forever, my darling.
