• Today my mind returned
    To those days long ago
    When each other was all we needed
    And happiness is all we came to know
    When we sat upon your father's roof
    Discussing the most important things
    Of how odd certain words seemed to us
    And of how horribly your cousin sings
    Everyday I spent with you
    Reminded me of the sweet spring
    Though our lives were no better than peasants
    We would have been the envy of kings
    Then came the day most dreaded
    When you returned to your home
    And still to this very moment
    Love for you is all I've known
    I miss you more than man can understand
    My being cries to have you near
    So much that my heart searches
    For someone else to hold so dear
    Over the years
    I've tried to move on
    And I have felt guilt
    For all save one
    The only guilt I feel for the one
    Is for not feeling guilty at all
    I wish not to lose your memory
    But around her, your face is hard to recall
    I guess that the time is coming
    Where I will finally move on
    But know that I've always loved you
    Since that day we watched the dawn
    So keep an eye on me
    And I'll try to make you proud
    Never again will I risk that stupid act
    And become a statistic in the crowd
    I promise not to see you again
    Until my hair turns grey
    A I promise I will keep this time
    For you, and all those I have here today
    Remember that when the day comes
    That I love another more than you
    That you, my Angel, were my first real love
    And that will always be true
