My days of happiness are now through,
Replaced by suffering and sorrow.
My broken heart sheds tears for you,
And I wonder how I will make it to tomorrow.

I was gone as you lay dying,
Crying out my name.
But, you see, so hard, I was trying
To forget you; that was my aim.

Everything seemed so perfect when Sayid and I returned;
It seemed that nothing could go wrong.
But it was too soon that I learned
That perfection only lasts so long.

I came back to camp today
To find that you had gone away.
