But Now,

You were here,

but now, my love, you are gone.

How can this be?

You can't leave me...

It gets lonely at night,

but now, my love, it gets darker.

I can not sleep...

Colder and colder.

You wrap your wings around me,

but now, my love, you embrace me.

All warm and bright again...

Sweet words of peace.

Your wings grow bigger,

but now, my love, they are blankets.

Whispering soothing words in my ear...

Sudden tears of joy.

Your wings are soft,

but now, my love, they comfort me.

Singing a quiet lullaby...

wishing you could stay with me.

I was here,

but now, my love, I am gone.

I am with you now...

and that's all that matters.
