You cross the bridge that I can't follow
Yet echoes of your memories sting my heart
A day to forget, a night to remember
Why the numbness hurts in slumber?
Although my soul shuts itself
It can still feel your lullaby in my ears

I wish to cross the bridge with you
But I guess this was my comeuppance that was due

My first Christmas without you
Make it my last my creater, if you can hear me too
Can't you see that I long for you?
Can't you feel my other half's shimmering hue?

So, this is the retribution of yours'
That emptied me hollow
Maybe this love wasn't made for me
Maybe this life wasn't my destiny......

The year came to an end
But my memories are still stuck on February 2023
A day my other half died with you
A night that crumbled against the pillow
8 years of flashback echoed me
As your last words fumble "I'll always love you".......
