His thoughts swirl around his vision of me that he holds close to his heart eternally as he reveals the depth of his love and desire unwilling to let go lest he perish in fire.
He tries to hold true to his knightly beliefs Though this is difficult as he weeps and he weeps For the pain is too strong and it clasps him in grief Though the time I’m away is so short and so brief.
Each kiss was momentous and full of the thrill of new love and desire with a lover’s fresh will. Each day was a song when we were together for no problems existed that our love couldn’t weather.
I long for my lover, my friend and my knight ever true I know that he longs for me each day and night too, but the truth is that all he has are his thoughts and his dreams and the vision he has of me and mementoes it seems.
For I have gone to another place without my love you see And it pains his heart that as a couple we will no longer be Yet his thoughts keep him sane though enshrouded in pain Our love for each other is strong and true just the same.
