Stars and Strife - Part 1
Across the table they held their gaze, his eyes knew where they belonged
No music was playing in the room, yet they heard their lover's song
He held her hand a little firmer, gave a smile, let slip a tear
The moment was approaching that for year's the two had feared
Her love for him never faltered, her fidelity was pure
Something he had never felt to question, of that he was always sure
Across her heart in ink, she had the signature of his name
And in return with her own name, he had done the same
She asked if he still remembered how this love long ago began
Baby he responded, never forget who is you're man
Close you're mind to our surroundings, to the people who stand around
Focus my Queen upon me, on this perfect love we found
I'm sorry she told him shakily, I failed you in the end
No my girl he answered her, you were my only friend
It's almost time for me to go, tomorrow the morn rises without my life
My one regret my precious girl, you never became my wife
His tears fell more forcefully, yet he tried to keep composure
His strength was the last and final gift, the one thing he could leave her
Look upon the stars tonight, see past the moon so blue
The veil of death shall be lifted, that I may gaze down upon you
The Officer's called time, the visit now was done
The two lover's who had fought so hard, in hours' become just one
She kissed him as her teardrops fell and merged with his
The last time she would see him, but he had a final wish
He grabbed her wrist urgently and asked please remember me
In the light, in the dark, walk beside of me
Always I'll remember, and to the sky at night I'll wait
May the heaven grant us leniency, that God let's me see your face
