Once in autumn, decades ago Our joint path began Determined to last Forever, together as one Sharing joy and sorrow My love, I can‘t be without you As fate has ordained Inextricably linked with each other We brave the storms and with each day Our bond‘s growing stronger And becoming unviolable As fate has ordained We enjoyed our trust and wayed for us And even wade through the deepest rivers But we always knew one day We may be alone Now coldness takes its place As constant companion The spark of life dies With the loss of the beloved Time will tell if one can come to terms With death and relume The fire within in defiance of fate Rain is falling and hides the tears Of bereavement The morning mist on the graveyard veils descending void As time has ordained With (just) a remembrance in our hearts
