Promises; I made one year ago,
a moment I still keep in my head,
Only my memories and dreams will know,
When her lifeless hand fell onto the bed.

Parting words are just the beginning,
Soft spoken whispers at the eve of rebirth,
No farewells since she'll be there awaiting
My return to show love all it's worth.

It takes two souls to make the journey to Avalon,
But more heart to bring us together,
The hurt and enduring pain, are gone,
A pool of new endings make afterlife better.

I can't wait till run up that hill,
See the elated smile on her face,
Watch the stars set in perfect standstill,
And wind my finger of tears that I trace.

As my hands fall back into the same bed,
Woven with the memories and dreams we know,
We'll keep the ones we love and lost in our head,
And make the leap we promise years ago.
