The ticking of the clock resonates in my head
My heart keeps time as does my breathing
Blood pulses through my body without emotion
It is remembering you that I am now thinking
Surely fate once foretold this sordid wisdom
Two souls so unlike would together soon be
With clasped hands they would face all challenges
Their reality as one no one else’s fantasy
Despite resistance from both heaven and earth
We surmounted all the tribulations we did meet
Through it all we grew as the best of companions
Once just two strangers alone upon a street
Yet it is right now that my tears do fall
My hand no longer holding the softness I did care
The angels came and took you away from me
One day, my love, I pledge to join you there
