The stars at night are too damned bright
and the restless wind sighs your name
as it cries in shame,
why did you die so young?

And now our songs play themselves again,
dancing in a never ending capricious wind.
~And if you can hear me?~
you know I still sing your name,
though its been many, many years,
even more tears
since we held each other
in love’s welcome bondage
tight throughout a long hot summer’s night.

And I remember, yes, I still remember,
your wanton smile, that wayward laugh,
your insanely simple way
of looking at life
as if it would last
forever.

For me, the life of you
has indeed lasted
forever.

Hauntingly beautiful emote and homage, Kacy...  I imagine that you are equally held close in their heart until you meet up again, next time...
