Stars and Strife - Part 1

Across the table they held their gaze, his eyes knew where they belonged No music was playing in the room, yet they heard their lover's song He held her hand a little firmer, gave a smile, let slip a tear The moment was approaching that for year's the two had feared Her love for him never faltered, her fidelity was pure Something he had never felt to question, of that he was always sure Across her heart in ink, she had the signature of his name And in return with her own name, he had done the same She asked if he still remembered how this love long ago began Baby he responded, never forget who is you're man Close you're mind to our surroundings, to the people who stand around Focus my Queen upon me, on this perfect love we found I'm sorry she told him shakily, I failed you in the end No my girl he answered her, you were my only friend It's almost time for me to go, tomorrow the morn rises without my life My one regret my precious girl, you never became my wife His tears fell more forcefully, yet he tried to keep composure His strength was the last and final gift, the one thing he could leave her Look upon the stars tonight, see past the moon so blue The veil of death shall be lifted, that I may gaze down upon you The Officer's called time, the visit now was done The two lover's who had fought so hard, in hours' become just one She kissed him as her teardrops fell and merged with his The last time she would see him, but he had a final wish He grabbed her wrist urgently and asked please remember me In the light, in the dark, walk beside of me Always I'll remember, and to the sky at night I'll wait May the heaven grant us leniency, that God let's me see your face
