Summer rolling
Down this hill
It's all I can do
To remember now.
Winter climbing
Up a steep dark slope
Hiding yesterday
In the cold.
And I grow old
As I hold tight
To these blankets
In the night,
Which are empty of the sight
Of you.
Swift like spring
They die like fall
The memories I held
Dearest of all.
When gentle smiles
Like sunrises
Fell from the heavens
In your eyes
And I still knew
I was alive.
We spoke at length
We whispered too
You slept at times
As I held you.
We laughed in sorrow
And cried in joy
We ignored tomorrow
Until tomorrow came.
This solar wind passes by
Your final light upon my eyes
A cold breeze should sting
Deep inside a restless heart
But today peace comes at last
Today I surrender
Because I know now what I forgot
My pain is not enough
To ever erase the moment
I first loved you
My feeble mind may not remember every moment.
But my heart will always remember us.
Without you, this love in me could not exist.
And so you are eternal. Your love has made me eternal too.
I am not afraid. I will not die alone. For you are with me still.
