I have loved thee,
My dear one.
And tho clouds had covered the stars
I held hope for their shine.
But, you have left
And the clouds do not move.
I have lost you
And my heart feels an ache
As none before.
You have left
And I have wept for your return.
Such helplessness
Overwhelms my shaking body
As the candel that I have lit for you
Flickers alone, destined to fade out.
I light these feeble flames
In hopes to light your way home.
Quickly do they fade away
But my hope shall stay forever.
And so my love shall also.
For love, being the strongest of all things,
Holds hope
That you shall find your way home.
And that once more,
I can tell you of my love for you.

For Jeff
