Long Ago

Was a long time ago
but so fresh in my mind
your light burned so bright
beautifully blinding

was a long time ago
but still see you clearly
can still hear your voice
don't need reminding

The storm has long past
the dust long settled
but the pain remains fresh
like a scar unhealed

you burned out too quickly
taken far too soon
my soul mate, 
my friend,
my protector, 
my sheild.
