CHRISTINE

You were once my one companion …
you were all that mattered …
You were once a friend and father –
then my world was shattered …

Wishing you were somehow here again …

Wishing you were somehow near …
Sometimes it seemed,
if I just dreamed,
somehow you would be here …

Wishing I could hear your voice again …
knowing that I never would …
Dreaming of you
won’t help me to do
all that you dreamed I could …

Passing bells
and sculpted angels,
cold and monimental,
seem, for you, the wrong companions –
you were warm and gentle …

Too many years
fighting back tears …
Why can’t the past just die …?

Wishing you were somehow here again …
knowing we must say goodbye …
Try to forgive …
teach me to live …
give me the strength to try …

No more memories, no more silent tears …
No more gazing across the wasted years …
Help me say goodbye.
Help me say goodbye~
