One day so long ago, it seems
You entered softly into my life
Young and filled with doubting dreams
My heart was racing, full of strife
Don’t go again, my lovely friend
At last, I’ve found what I’ve been seeking
You are my light, forever gleaming
The road is long and unknown for us
But still, it might work, despite the fuss
.
You find yourself in your own space
And grow with worth that’s truly yours
Unequal paths mark our embrace
No longer close, we’ve shut the doors
Come back again, my lovely friend
At last, I’ve found what I’ve been seeking
You are my light, forever gleaming
The road is long and unknown for us
But still, it could work, despite the fuss
.
Alone among the many here
Shaken and changed, I feel astray
Life rushes on, I’m gripped by fear
A shell encloses me, keeps me away
Help me escape, my lovely friend
Now we have found what we’ve longed to see
The chains are possible to set free
The road is long and unknown for us
But still, it will work, despite the fuss

This was so poignant yet so beautifully written. Loved your poem!
That was beautiful!
Your pain comes through in your words Henrik. I loved how you grounded your story with the equivalent of a chorus. :)
