We met under the stars, among the solitude and shadows,
I saw your face before me, your hands outstretch for mine,
You smiled and asked me to join you,
But I couldn’t leave it all behind.

I looked into your pale eyes and saw a pleading look inside,
Again you were afraid of going off alone,
But you were too ashamed to hide.
So you tried to take my hand but I quickly shook my head,
I couldn’t follow you this time my friend,
Because one of us is dead.

And I swear you looked so real, when your tears began to flow,
I swear I heard your heart break, when I said you had to go.
Because when I told you we’d no longer be together
You immediately began to cry,
You begged and screamed for mercy, wishing that you didn’t die.

And how you raged and cursed when your soul finally asked to leave,
You asked if it could wait a few more years, you weren’t ready to concede.
But it just flew into the night, like a caged bird set free,
And I was left with silence and just a memory.

And here alone I now understand what you felt when you knew you had to go,
When I couldn’t see the coming emptiness that time would now begin to show.
And now how my aching heart bleeds dry knowing that you’re so far,
How my mind crumbles to pieces not knowing where you are.
