Wasn't it just yesterday,
that I held you in my heart?
If only I had known, my love,
our ways were soon to part.
It was not I who left you,
but you who departed from me.
Tried to take your life, my love,
and control your own destiny.
Fate has frowned upon you,
casting you in misery.
But do you not realize, my love,
that Fate also brought you to me?
This road you have to walk,
does not have to be traipsed alone.
Let me walk beside you, my love,
your protector, your rock, your stone.
I cannot change the past,
or make the future clear.
All I can promise, my love,
is I will always be near.
So come back to me, my heart,
enter my warm embrace.
Hold my hand tight, my love,
as together we finish life's race.
Do not end your journey,
that has just brought me to you.
Do not end your life, my love,
for what then, would I do?
