Recollecting a Sad Memory, a Loss and a Dream

Recollecting A Sad Memory, A Loss And A Dream

I bid thee adieu, this my last sad note.
A call to remember, heart once so true,
as Fate oft holds its power asymptote,
sky pallid, never again true deep blue.

Very touching and melancholy write, Sir Roberto - is this about a lost love, or a passing? Great stuff!
