A Beautiful Disaster

1.
You're now just a memory,
But the memory, more precious
Than any guise from a loner's dream.
I'll never hear your voice calling out my name,
I'll never catch the glance of your charming eyes,
Parting with you with no chance to say goodbye,
I knew you'd stay here - in my heart
For all my life, but remaining
Forever young and loved.

2.
I know that you loved me then,
Sincerely - you could never lie,
For being your shield and your savior,
Severely defeated in the very last strife
For you. Broken, tortured, I failed you
When my desperate last goodbye
Was the hymn of "eternal" love.

3.
You were the worst of my mistakes,
The sweetest of my scary nightmares,
The mirror, revealing my dreams as fears.
The stupid thing - 'have done that, been there'
Was everything that ever was between us.
The key I gave you as if "from heart"
Just didn't fit it... Oh, despair!

4.
The spark of one November's night
Has grown into the flame of endless hope.
Two lives, two sorrows are my one - real - life,
And of this new life was that night, so calm, the dawn,
As all the tears, hours, miles, lost letters I've been counting...
And longing, parting, waiting... But for this all would I have even found you?
