Oh darling, oh dear

Why mustn’t you be near?

I long for your embrace at night

Along with dreaming of you in daylight.

Your delicate grey hair

And your adoring care.

You’re the one I want the most

Even if you are a ghost.

Every time I sit behind your grave,

I leave with my heart eroded as if it were a cave.

So now I am accepting that although you may be far

I can look up and see you shining bright as a star.
