Every day was a jewel, unique and without flaw
Without a doubt unrepeatable
Long, sweet ache, light and darkness, joy and sadness… and fracture
She was life, and she gave me the life I needed
It was so sweet to fool myself for a while
But the currents of life pulled us apart as they had brought us together
I was reminded of my duty to be a man
And I left
A little part of me with her
A little part of her with me
Those moments were forever
They never died
And neither will we
Forever apart
Forever one
It was just a fleeting reminder.

The shadow at the fore
Looking down to find the sun
