.

I can feel you in my mind

I can taste you in my sleep,

I can smell you in the air

Around and hear your deep

Voice and see your face so fair

Simply by closing my eyes,

Sometimes when I am alone

I swear you are by my side

I can feel it deep inside

Even tearful last goodbyes

Can’t keep you forever gone

This I know as real as pain

For on my face falls cold rain,

A bitter and battered brine,

Despite the brightest sunshine…

And thus spoke the last princess.
