I never finished your song, so I will leave you with this for now.

A tender moment / the fleeting life that we live / let us embrace it - /
A continuation
for it may not last / till we see the setting sun / or tomorrow's dawn - / the world will move on / our insignificant selves / will be forgotten - / the birds will still sing / the light, the sun will still bring / roses will still bloom.

Just an empty shell / Wanting only to be loved / Unable to love

You don’t understand / All of me aches when you say / Good night and farewell
