You feel my presence around you,
On summer nights when the stars shine bright.
Dark veils of clouds cover the forlorn moon,
Anguish fills my heart.

Transient imprints of a life disappear
In the sands of time, the eternal sea.
Your words bind me with the past,
The bittersweet tales of life,
The earthly existence I lost.

Your memory lingers in my way to serenity,
My soul resides in you, embracing yours.
While here I roam as an outcast,
Someone who belongs to somewhere else,
A wanderer amidst the breathing.

Don't hold on to me,
Let me go.
