As the evening passes and time further stills,
The summer nights grow longer,
You continually give me chills,
And make parts of me grow stronger.

The hours we spend together fly by,
Full of laughter and joy,
I only wish you could see you as I try,
A glowing Helen of Troy.

That fateful night I will always remember,
That incident that has hewn us apart
Despite it passing last September,
I continue to wake with a start.

I miss your presence by my side,
A void aching evermore,
There’s no one left in which to confide,
Instead, only a dark door
