I push open the creaking iron gate
and follow a winding road that leads me to you;
The wind has taken my hair and is pushing me forward,
as burnt orange and yellow leaves are whirling.
The air is cool as it whispers in the ancient trees
and roses are decaying on the graves as I pass.
I can hear my own breathing- in this silent dead place
then, I am standing at your engraved stone.
I did not bring you flowers on this cold day
as my forever love is all that I have to give you.
My darling, not a single day do I not ask why, why
why- all I can leave are my tears . . .
