A magical essence no one else had
The memory of us still lingers
Satin sheets, two bodies, unclad
Nights spent in rapturous glory
Until sunlight broke that morn
When you silently slipped away
And I lay shattered and forlorn
Time continues ever slowly
Since the day you said goodbye
But my love for you, forever, only
Remains, until the day I die
