As the sun is dipping down … crying that it is the moment now…
I sit on a rock with this letter close to my chest…
And the thought of letting you go… with a wish to let you know…
That the angels must be looking at me in detest…
That in my heart I cry… for the love which I never could show…

The love which was shining on my inner world… like the sun…
Giving me strength, to fight it all…
All that was hurting you… all that was making you cry…
Wiping away the tears… bringing a light of hope… a ray of joy…
When you thought you had lost it all… it was there… afar…
Shining bright in your life… like a lonely star…

My hand which now trembles… holds this Message of my Heart…
Which once held yours… strong, relentless, ever-caring… never letting it go apart
Leading you out of this abyss… pushing you through the dark…
Pulling you through the mudding sadness… with that untiring spark
Fighting against all the resistance… offering you friendship and love…
Giving you warmth in the times of cold, hatred, torture and prejudice…

That hand trembles now… holding this Message unspoken …
Close to the heart… which is now broken…
Which now bleeds… bleeds in love… bleeds in disdain…
This brave heart… which once belonged to you… now beats in vain…
Which you maybe, never felt… yet it beat strong to stand by you…
It has said everything to me this moment… so true…

This brave heart… says that it’s time…
It’s time to let you go… it’s time to let go the pain…
It’s time to be strong for the person who deserves …
And beat for her who stands by me and protects …
This moment, while it’s going to die… with a hope…
That from this inferno, this brave heart… will rise again…
