I’m sorry I couldn’t come to you.

When you were in danger and didn’t know it

But I tried to call your name.

I wished I could send someone in my place

But this was my fear to engage.

A lump in my throat as I thought of your face.

A pain I couldn’t fathom only escaped by grace.

Still, while all turned out well

I admit there is a deep sorrow I could never tell.

If love could cure this then take my heart to the highest mountain

Please use it to paint the skies, make it bright

If a cloud shall ever form above her again
