Scarlet III

I wish the knowing that we were never meant to live forever,

removed the desire for more time with you.

Scarlet II

You were the place where time stood still and the world falls away.

The one fear that remains, is never finding my way back to that place—maybe I never will.

Perhaps in the next life we’ll be able to hang onto the moment for a while longer.

Scarlet I

Every now and then, a memory floats forward from somewhere far behind.

I whisper your name in melancholy—and some creature stirs beneath my skin.

The chill only reminds me of just how real it all was.
