Somewhere in the back of my mind
There in the darkness I'd rather not find
There's memories of the sadness and pain
Where I thought happiness was just a big game

Somewhere in the depths of my soul
There's memories I cannot control
Of anger, hurt and endless frustration
To outweigh the feeling of any elation

Somewhere in the rhythmic beat of my heart
There's a remembrance of once when it could not start
Of times when it was broken and shattered and tore
Of times where I could breathe it was so sore

One day I managed to forget all this feeling
You came to me and sent them all reeling
You showed me the way life's meant to be
Set all my sadness and anger all free

I gave you my heart and there's no turning back
Not that I want to - there's nothing I lack
You gave me forever, a past and a magical here
All I ask in return is that you'll remain ever near.

I declare my love for you now to be ever after
And declare it'll last into the hereafter
I'll love you today and forever somehow
And forever is ever and ever is now.

Penned by my hand on the 16th of Slyphian, in the year 104 MA.
