Above all

To my dearest Kaida,

I know we have had some troubles and have not seen one another for some
time so I thought of the one way I could maybe reach you...

A passion that burns inside hotter than the brightest flame
Engulfed us and moved us in directions we didn't want to go.
Not to be extinguished by even the hardest rain
The passion raged on while we changed in ways we didn't know.
The only thing that could burnt it out was itself
For nothing else could even make it slow.

The best and worst times spent in each others care.
With absense, illness, friends, and even death itself
Our hearts open to one another and laid bare
Until we had thought the passion totaly died out
And with the passion also the undying love we shared
But know that with one the passion is definately still felt.

We stood our ground through everything that arose
But we got too close to those fires and got burnt
The passions hotter than we could ever know
And we moved way to fast and feelings were hurt.
We pulled away from each other being afraid to let go
Of the lives we knew for the things we yearned.

I told you once I didn't have anymore hope
That I believed it was ending between us and that all was lost
The love we shared was far to much to have to cope
With the thought of our future losses and just what they would cost
So we let the passions tear us up and burn us out
And it really started to seem that all was indeed lost...

I tell you now that within my heart the flame is still there
That I still yearn to be with you and hold you tight
To listen to your troubles with complete care
Feel your heart beating as we snuggle up at night
Together go where neither of us would dare
And to hear your sweet whispers telling me everything's going to be
alright.

Never in my life has anyone filled the gap in my soul
So it was with total shock that I found that it was gone completely
And that you had filled the unfillable void and made me whole.
Now that we're apart and I've been shook real violently
Once again I feel the edgings of that 'mystical hole'
And hunger for the only one who could ever truly satisfy me.

I yearn for you my darling, I yearn for the life we shared
I miss you deeply and truly wish to try again to go
Down all lifes roads that none ever attempt to dare
And at the end of it all you can truly know
That I was sincere and really did care
More for you than anyone or anything in this world.

Above all else I hope someday you again know
That your happiness has and always will be
More important to me than anything of my own
And that promises that were made by me
Are being held to no matter what else is said and done
And that I still love you, forever, always, eternally.

Be well my darling and know that somewhere out there you are still
loved.
