To touch your face
To hold your hand
To give you strength
To give you love

To go with you
Through life and time
With you, for you
To share your thoughts.

To walk through woods
Through fields and sands
Part of your life
You, part of mine.

It cannot be
Despite my love
But through my life
I’ll remember

A dream.
