A campfire glows bright in the twilight on a beach
The ocean is near, but I cannot hear it
I’m sorry I left, however, in this place we are still together
She’s wearing my black Dickies sweater that I loaned her a year ago
Did you want it to continue forever?
She slowly moves away from the fire, leaving only footprints
I just wanted you to know the truth my prince
The sky is about black, and the stars turn blue
I can’t let go either, even though I already have
On the shore the ocean carries out the waves as I watch them move
And I miss you, you shouldn’t have gotten so mad
What was once another source of light, now just a new moon
I know now, but unfortunately we have to leave this place soon
The campfire burns out and became smoke and soot

This memory, vague and blurry, endlessly echoes
Why did you leave?  You took my heart to Adjuntas you know
Will I accept the truth?  Even though I must?
Always, I can’t picture myself without us
You said you left because you fell ill, but your head laid low
I know that now, but I can’t let go
Perhaps you haven’t found a significant other.  That may be true
Maybe you have, but I haven’t, I still miss you
Sometimes the anger burns a vibrant, deep blue
I’m not mad anymore princess, I wish you knew
This one last memory is the one that always causes the most pain
My heart breaks now and always, can I have a kiss to know the passion remains?
