Good night, my dear friend, close your eyes and think of fireflies and twilight hours.
Your eyes will never leave my memory, your smell will stay in my nostrils forever, and your flesh will remain warm in my heart.
I have seen how tragedy can spark into a million tiny flames and I will not put them out, for you are a part of my living salvation.
I may have lost you for a while, but you will be back to comfort me, to make me whole, to make me pure, and to see a thousand smiles.
Far away, my good friend, I will see your eyes in my dreams at night and daydreams while at work.
You are with me always, reminding me what I am when I can't see the image in the mirror,
when I am hutched over from pain and guilt, you come to me and let me know everything is alright.
I wished nothing but forever with you, and forever was not forever, and that's okay with me.
I don't feel sad and will not take the soul to the place of no return.
This is mine, only mine, not anyone living or dead, not you or your family.
Good night, my one and only, and guide me on rocky paths and be with me in silent forests, when I am hungry for the hidden, and don't have the courage to take the step.
