Free

When she called
Me with smiles,
I answered with my own.
When she held me
In her embrace,
I was never to be alone.

When she cared
For me in agony,
There would be no time as this.
When she bid me
Farewell for now,
I parted with her tender kiss.

When she loved me,
I did love her too.
There would be no one again.
When she healed
My broken soul,
I would no longer know pain.

She loves me still,
I believe it so.
For we are eternally endowed.
I stand here today,
On this mortal ground.
She roams free, beyond the clouds.
