The time we spend alive on this earth
Is short and brutal and cruel beyond measure
The time we spend with the people we love is precious
Because this truth makes it all the sweeter
Turn again, turn around
Meet and dance again and again
I will see you once more
That is the promise I made to the wind,
Voice lost in the melody of bells and rain
Screaming for the agony to end soon
Let my prayer be remembered
As the scream fades in the torrent of time
Voice drowned in ink, fades in rust grates in sunset
The scent of apple blossoms waft temptation on the air
Somewhere its spring, somewhere sentinals stand
Words are words, and papyrus rots no matter the weather
If we see each other again
Even after the reaper signs our names in blood
Will we know each other?
Or pass just briefly, greet faintly in passing?
When time has scrubbed away the blood
Will you love me once again?
