One tear I dripped upon the soil
When you have blessed it pacing
And if you cherish me a smile
I shall escort you stalking

Uncanny treads or stiffing cords
But tie us both together
You bear the memory of words
I claim my path in ether

Your course is set, your trace is fresh
And I can smell your courage
But glancing back, do you recall
Us frightened in the forest?

Of how I shouldered you against the shade
Of warmth emitting flesh
Of how you kissed me then
With promise and regret

So here we stride on your behalf
I'm patient, you're bewildered
A gone past years to keep the gulf
'tween me, you and twilight...
