to know such sweet sorrow is to know the bitterness that is your memory, to know that from now on

that's all you will be.

to know you was to know blessedness, to know a genius in a nomad's body, to hear your voice, to know
you've got me.

i turn the pages in my mind, flipping through books of our memories, remembering the warmth of your
hand in mine, a happiness so divine.

a tear i shed for time wasted and words left unsaid, i imagine your embrace, knowing that without you
i'd be dead.

i am but a hollow shell, here in the dead space, a hollow shell in absence of you, but full of your love,
this bitter sweet truth.

don't you remember? "hey lady! you always make my day sweetheart!", i save those words in my head,
picturing how they escaped your lips, like a perfect much familiar kiss.

your kiss lingering upon my cheek, smiling beneath your puckered lips, going crazy for you in my mind, a
sucker's bliss.

so hopelessly hooked on you, your friendship so one of a kind, i know life without you will be hard,
saying goodbye to you love, i will see you in time.

living life without you here, without you near, i fear, my head so full of disheartened thoughts i cannot
clear.

rains falling down, washing away the pain of knowing your memory, beating down so heavily.

rains falling down cannot fade my love for you, the hopeful thoughts of you being happy one day, my
heart breaks in this heavy dismay.

i lighten my load, memories of you falling into place, in and out of space, in a time where you loved like
you'd never been hurt and your dreams never erased.

looking down you watch me today, you see the tears rolling down my face.

god is in these rains, that pour down my cheeks, full of your love, your life, your beauty, your strife.

ill keep you, ill weep you.

you're in these rains, so full of life after life, you smile and the world lights up.

memories of each day, memories that never ever fade.
