I Cry

(Lyra's thoughts as she said goodbye)

Down my cheeks the tears do flow

I cry for the future that we'll never know

The wedding we'll never have, the children that are not to be

We shall grow old, but I not with you, and you not with me

Together for so long and now we must part

But you'll always hold the most space in my heart

After all that we've been through, all that we've done

After the joy and the pain, the fear and the fun

We save the worlds and what do we get?

But meeting you Will, I'll never regret

I'll never forget you or your knife

Oh how I would have loved to become your wife

I cry for you and I cry for me

I cry for the day we kissed under the tree

I cry because of what we must do

I cry because, Will, I love you!

I cry because there are no words for what I wish to say

And I'll cry on that bench on Midsummer's Day
