You've returned to me as a shadow
You've come back
To fill the empty canyon of my loss
This is not real

I refuse to feel you're in a better place
And now I know
The pain of never reaching for your face
We tear in two

I would welcome you back in my dreams
Take me
Where the pain will pass and beauty remains
Until then

I touched your hand for remembrance
Hoping we can
Turn the darkest mourning into thanks
We tear in two

I beg the road to rise and meet you
May the wind be at your back
And the sunshine warm on your face my friend
Until we meet again
