The lights lit up
Every face but hers
Because she's only here
In my memory...

She lives in my mind
And in photographs
And not in my life at all

So far away...
But closer than anyone else

Bewildering...
Light on the wall
And on my face
And on my heart...
My love that conquers miles
And oceans
Day after day after day
In the iridescent light...

Immortalised in endless words
That carry my thoughts
And keep me afloat
In my happiness

The sound is blinding...
And the lights only deafen me
But I can still hear her...
