I last saw your face
framed in a train window
lost from view forever
as I moved away
I last heard your voice
down a distant phoneline
telling me it was nice
to hear my voice again
You went down a dark road
were all was gradually lost
what gave you joy
what gave you light
I admire your strength
against all those odds
whether it be
a foreign tongue
You were always there
until you were there no more
I was lost to you
you were lost to me
No longer alone
reunited forever
beyond all pain
and all fear
As long as I remember
as long as you are remembered
you are not truly gone
just for a while
I remember the sun-splashed room
where I saw you last,
expecting you to come in
wondering why all were inside
I remember the sun-splashed room
where I saw you both last
the clock now reversed
until the breaking of the day
Tomorrow, it will be 16 years since my mother passed away.
