Long gone

As the midnight light turns to dawn
All that was, is now gone
Forgotten over time's everlasting sand
No longer here to hold my hand
For once loved, and lived, and learned
It was you whose presence I once yearned
Now as the burning fire turns to dust
There is no one left whom I can trust
I will remember you for years long past
I just wish your memories will last
Forevermore, I'll think of you
And remember the life I once knew
You hold a place in my heart
A special place, away from the dark
Now I must part, as not to dwell
For the sorrow in my heart has begun to swell
I bid you goodnight, and promise you
No matter what I will stay true
