There was a time
When we whispered sweet nothings
That made no sense to anyone else
But was understood to our hearts
Laying in your arms
I felt safe, safer than all my past
And I felt happy, happier when I think of the future
I was with you, deeper than you will ever think
I looked up at the stars
They were singing, dancing and misting
Blessing us with their silent laughter that only the heavens hear
And only dreamers and innnocence could imagine
The pit I was in when I admitted my love
"I would die for you," he replied and I lay content,
For I murmured the same into your ear as well
Relieved that there could be no other
But now that I stand by the little hill filled with memories
I can only watch, silent like a guardian angel,
When you hold another like you held me
The cedar leaves are rustling,
Whispering sweet nothings in my head and heart
And I still wonder if you knew the truth
Of what I really said that starry night
O my dearest, lost lover,
How could you have not seen?
That I would have died for you,
But I would also live for you as well?

Cedar leaves represent the phrase: "I live for thee."
