Spirit’s Lament

 I never left you, see I’m right here,

Love I’m still here can't you see me,

I’m standing here waiting,

Just see me.

Look at me!

I’m here!

I never left!

I Love you!

Please, just look at me,

I’m not angry, just see me,

Please just try, I’m here honest,

Just look and see me, I know you can.

Can’t you hear me.

Don’t you want me to be here?

I’m waiting, so please, please look,

Don't forget me, I don't want to go.

I’m sorry, I made you sad,

I didn't mean to go; it was an accident,

But don’t worry I’ll be waiting on you On the other side of that veil.

So live your life, be happy and don't worry,

I will be looking down and watching over you.

I am so, so proud, I just wish I had said so more.

take your time before you come to see me.

I don't want to be seeing you for a long time yet.

Enjoy life and if there is anything I hope I have taught you is that,

Life is short and accidents happen,

That no day is promised so please enjoy,

And live the life you want, let no one drag you down,

And when we meet again tell me all your stories.
