You were once my one companion, you were all that mattered. You were once a friend and father, then my world was shattered. Wishing you were somehow here again, wishing you were somehow near. Sometimes it seemed, if I just dreamed, somehow you would be here. Wishing I could hear your voice again, knowing that I never would. Dreaming of you won't help me to do all that you dreamed I could. Passing bells and sculpted angels, good and monumental, seem for you the wrong companions, you were warm and gentle. For many years, fighting like kings, why can't the past just die? Wishing you were somehow here again, only to say goodnight. May I do for you, teach me to live, make me the strength to fly. No more memories, no more silent tears, no more grazing across the wasted years. Help me see you again.
