Forever

As the dawn breaks I feel my shell drift away So, if I have gone Before you wake There’s something I feel I should say Too long I’ve waited For the dream to bleed Into the veins of the real Too far I’ve drifted As the winds revive The rotting sails If it means my life If it means the memory If it means my soul And all of eternity Even then, my love You will have all of me My vision drowns As I kneel down To kiss you one last time Sleep soundly, my angel, now Waking will deliver the nightmare So, keep closed your eyes For I might, then, truly be immortal Your hand clasps mine Reflexive as it may be Is a gesture, so precious to me Screaming inside, I whisper, “Goodbye” For the sun will not stop for our love My sweet, if I’m to go Before you wake Know that not all dreams are evil And some are eternal My heart lives on Inside of yours Whilst the shell has blown away Resting on the breeze, I find you Listen carefully, I wish to say My precious, I love you And I am here with you, now and always
