Gabriel, this is the last
Chapter of our correspondence
I hope that after time has passed
You can remember me with fondness
I think as I am thinking now
Of all the pages that have seen us
Laid out unending in between us
And we can walk them like the ground
I know my fate, I do not need to fight
Tread softly on the words
And Gabriel, I see you there
The day I met you in the orchard
And I was younger then, I wore my hair
In bows across my forehead
Soon they will twist it at the shoulder
An d face the clasp against my neck
I do not think that you would know her
If you could see what they reflect
I see my future in a evening dress
Or wrapped in tapestry and fur,
Remember me the way you knew me best
I'll keep you always and in secret
In the pockets of my clothes
But this is how I live my life
This is the heart that I've been given
And what you've given can be sold
I saw my future in an evening dress
Remember me the way you knew me then
Don't carry your love gift
Everything you've put to paper
But it's better to forget
And fill your head with memories
Think that you will thank me later
I know my fate, I do not mean to fight
Tread softly on the words
