lasting memory
ah a beauty i see to the before of me
one of gentile mean and smile
care i not for the way i feel
as she smiles again for one not i
passing close within and out again
to see her shiver with the cold
wish i could provide the warmth
but that is for the other
dream not must i
of the one i had before
the one for which i wish i had died
too many seasons
years behind
yet still her memory torments me
keeps me here binds me blind
how her love for me made her leap
how my love for i kept me safe
how too many years too late
i finally found
i loved her still
on a bed of death i made the vow
to remain with this memory
of one who loved stronger than i
