My Dearest
That night when I saw you
Your tear stained face
That inexplicable heart ache
I could never explain
I was glad ... Very glad that you lost something
And glad that I was able to find it.
I felt blessed to have loved you for years
Without either of us having known each other
Perhaps it was your voice or your feelings
May be it was those lyrics
May be it was the peace
That I relished from your songs.
The time when we met
During the fireworks festival
Bumping into you
Was a blessing
You have no idea how I felt
I knew your innocence
I felt your passion
I lost myself in your eyes
A labyrinth which was
But I still feigned ignorance
It was a blessing to be partnered with you to look after the class
To teach you piano
To sing together
To taste victories.... together
Tell me ... When Was it that we started to fall in love
From being strangers how did fate support us ?
When did you become my strength ?
When did you turn into my weakness ?
My dearest , do you know ?
You added colour to my life
A unique painting our memory became
Your pure smile swayed my heart
My dearest you gave me all
I love the scarf you made
I love the food you made
I love your angry face
I love your care
So where did you go ?
Why did you go so far away ?
Where I cannot reach
Should I leave this world to accompany you ?
The separation was unbearable
I lost my memories
I forgot you
I forgot my daughter but then
You still kept hope alive
Fulfilled your promise
Left without your heart
Embedded in another body
I look at her like I look at you
She smiles at me like you smile at me
Now I remember you
I see you in her
It's your heart her beats
My dearest ! I'll miss you
I'll miss you, keep missing you
Even though you left your essence
Even though you cared about me
In your time of death
I'll miss you
For you are an unforgettable memory
A beautiful story
For you my love
I'll live on
Love her as I loved you
Raise my children like you want me to
And when I sit and cry hard alone
Like a desolate child
Come into my dreams and make me free!
