How I've longed to hold your hand through life,
God only knows how very much you've meant to me.

Long after all my other dreams have faded,
leaving only one behind in my tear scared heart.

In that one dream you will forever shine.

Keeping my heart sustained through empty years,
remaining its warmest of cherrished memories.

In times of sorrow and of pain,
sustaining me and remaining my dearest joy.

Till lifes last breath escapes my lips,
as a longing sigh of your name.
