nightlight

「 across our river 」

Across our river, beyond the mist

I watch your shadows fleet

Angel feathers through the gale

I hear your whispers fade

So let's raise a glass, perhaps two

To the tales that told of me and you

Maybe a third, then a fourth

'Till I can hear that voice of yours

Too old to forget

Too young to regret

Embers die, later or soon

The lone wolf howls at a waning moon

All I've left, your silhouette

Still so bright a dying light

When dust descends upon forlorn memories

Will you be there to whistle our story into the breeze?

Let my tears fall upon your splendor

But I can't leave

Not before I find you back

Or wither by the roadsides

You jar that holds my heart.

So I query the heavens at the end of time —

Must we be heartless

to not be heartbroken?

Lost at night

Found my light
