To everyone else in general:
I can still feel him in my arms...
A little boy,
A little man,
Of 36 years of age.
If he only knew how much I love him,
How much I love him...
I always have,
I do -
And always will.
I'm so afraid...he's afraid too
- A man who thinks he cries to much,
When I think I should cry more...
To him:
How come this world doesn't know you?
I knew you
Before I met you...
I waited for you to be born.
(Stop rolling your eyes,
I know you say you don't believe in such things.)
...And when I came down from heaven,
You were 14 -
I told you to wait up there,
I told you to wait...
I told you my name would be Elizabeth.
But, you didn't wait -
You grew impatient and picked the wrong one.
I'm sorry...
I'm so sorry,
But I'm here now
...And now I want to change my name.
Dreams and Conclusion:
I had a dream that you were Edgar Allan Poe
And I was your Annabel Lee
- I was buried by the sea,
And I wept for you.
I grieve for you
So that I can't cry...
I don't know why -
This whole thing,
Sometimes I just don't know why...
You want to know the truth?
I'll try to help you find it,
If you only overlook my flaws
While I try to overcome them.
I'm here to help you learn.
I am here now so that you can teach me -
And, it is begun...
Let's tie up these loose ends
Into a love knot
- And see how long it lasts,
For whatever reasons it's meant to be
It has been,
It is now -
And I am here with you
And you are here with me...
...Let's at least try,
You might not have much longer on this Earth, my dear
And maybe,
Neither do I...
