We start the journey
At different times
You went first
I’ll go last.
~~~
You showed the way
With strength and love
Holding to life
‘Till there was no more.
~~~
For me you now wait
With patience, you wait
Until it’s my time
When I’ll follow you, my love, my fate.
~~~
Together again
One day, one heart
You and I
Together, in eternal journey
Forever, together again.
