Touch goes right through the face,
Lips never could meet yours.
Eyes they meet an empty gaze,
Blurring lines you stand and wait.

Time spent dreamt of nights,
Laid together, bodies held
So tight –
Never letting go.

Laughter haunts halls we sat,
Crying met with slight softness,
Anger at the words rung deep
Inside the pain we carried close.

Memories sweet and sour
Are all you left behind.
O my darling– Nameless lover,
Never dead in my mind.
