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? |

I can't begin to tell you in how many ways this resonates with me, even down to the month of November. It's uncanny. Almost every line seemed to parallel my own thoughts and feelings. It was, for me, a very emotional read, but I wouldn't have missed it for the world. Thanks. |
