Where are you my love?
Where is your sweet voice,
The smell of jasmine, laughter, and the tinkling of bells?

You have stood by my side,
feeling but untouchable,
warming my heart in a world gone cold.

Where are you my sweet?
What have I done?
Kept from the golden gate, afraid, sharing each other?

You were taken in your youth,
Broken by a brute,
And left to dwell with me in my living purgatory.

Where are you my dear?
Where have you gone,
A ghost of yesterday, haunting, yet so alive?

You have fallen into the abyss,
Descended into the depths of forever,
And become an eternal memory.

I will always love you.
I will never forget.
The smell of jasmine, laughter, and the tinkling of bells.
