(A lone voice whispers)
Dear reader
One day
My love
I will appear like a ghost in the night
A shadow in the twilight to ask
With a soft whisper from The Great In-Between
As you sit surrounded by many old photographs of those you love
Looking outside at life as it casually strolls by
Do you ever still think of us
Me and your own anointed love
After all these years have passed
Now we've both disappeared back into the swirling grey mists of whence
We both once came
Do you ever dream of soft lips
You wish you could still kiss
Would a taste of us
Your once unquenchable need and souls only joy
Satisfy your endless greed
Or would it cause you to burn even more
For to know me is to open up the souls one true door
To one day be prepared to cherish painful memories and suffering
To run wild like a raindrop
Through loves green fields and lay wet in sweet nights filled with such salvation
For memories are all that's left
When Death suddenly comes calling
And leaves you all alone
Sitting in Griefs neverending falling rain
Are you willing to take that risk
If so
Take my hand so we can look for that special someone together
Or are we already lifelong friends
Just waiting for that spectacular day
Until we all meet again when it's your end
And tears stop falling and we are all reborn
In a new place where there is no griefs rain
For there is no weather
And we can all be together forever
