Track 14:
Gavi's Song
(Elizabeth and Ciel)
"I started this song with Gavi and promised him that we'd finish it when he got out of the hospital. More than ever before, I know there is life after death. Gavi was with me every step of the way in writing this album and he is in every song. Here's to you my friend, until we meet again."
Your ghost still lingered with me.
Wherever I went, whatever I did – you were with me. You invaded my mind, you distracted me, the thought of you made me both smile and cry.
Like you did when you had been alive.
But now, you were gone.
And all light had followed you.
I had wanted to give you something special – something which could not be bought.
I had wanted to see you smile…
… what I would give to see your face again.
Once, only once.
What should I do now with you gone? You had been my everything for years, you would be my everything for more to come. How could I ever let go of you? How could I put down my veil and bid you goodbye one last time?
Something once lost could never return.
Grief could consume you but I had not taken its hand, but another.
I had no time to mourn, no time to cry.
The loss of you, my beloved ones, would not weaken, but strengthen me for what would come. Would be the incentive to stay on this path.
And I would stand here with a straight back and wait for them to come.
The ghosts still lingering with me.
