there was a voice
                 within your voice
                            hauntingly whispering
                   hopes of moments worth living for
                            muting the deafening silence
                       that was drowning my soul in black

                                   and your words
                                so sweet
                                      like rain falling
                              on dry cracked lips

                          in those moments of seconds
                                     darkness died
                                 a world was born
                            a new sun rose
                      a place compared to heaven it was close
                            seconds that spanned to an eternity

                       but it seems even eternity is brief

                           for destiny had forged
                               that we had to let go
                           nothing left but a farewell
                                that felt like being sent to hell
    
                          and then there was silence
                             for seconds of eternity
                                 and then sighs of your memory
                                 was being carved into my soul

                             your memories forever kept fresh
                                    on one's soul's canvass
                           by painting you anew everyday

                  and now how i hunger for your touch...
                                ...your voice
                  now that you have touched my soul's shore
