Mijn Liedje

What once was, will never again be

Memories eternal in light

Eternal in me.

As we come up to dawn

I cling onto you

Something so simple

Yet so true.

These days are no fun,

They end up being lived one by one,

No joy, no smile,

Not really happy for a while.

It pains me in my heart,

Imagining all the time I could have had you not so far.

It stings like stake,

But it leaves no visible scar.

I stride,

Still trying to find,

With tears in my eyes,

Something that I lost,

Very far behind.

Hope wanes away slowly,

And while I say “someday, maybe”

Noting really changes,

Wishing it was

Someday baby.

Now it’s time to say goodbye, sweetie,

One more time.

I’ll carry you forever, here,

In my mind.
