Heart's Grave

I want to leave you tonight while the moon is brighter I wouldn't want to walk away in darkness I might not find my way home In a place I have chosen for us There will be no fireworks, only sadness And the candle burning silently,crying to its end I have found you among the stars I will leave you there among them tonight While the birds are sleeping, while the clouds are absent I will keep the traces of your presence In a place in my heart that I could no longer reach You shall remain in that abyss untouched, but I'll know you're there You will be there until forever unfolds itself And a hand that can save me shall at last arrive In its care I shall take the life to bring the ashes to a burning I will take a piece of that smile with me And that voice I shall carry until my ears go deaf I shall see you in memory until I grow old to see my dreams clearly But I'll know you're there, you will be there If a gaze for just one more time can still take my breath away I shall know that this departure is weak; I will dare not attempt As you have come inside me in silence Now I am leaving you in silence With a love to hold, in restlessness.
