Beloved
by Pearl Chao
I ask myself
'Oh why did you leave?
Why did you go
And leave me here alone?'

The pain is there,
And I dare not share
How my love for you
Will forever be true.

Listening for you again,
Watching for your shadow.
Waiting for my friend,
Hoping to see your face once more.

Yet knowing you are gone
And won't be back again,
I'll sing you a song,
A song to my friend.


I know you had to go sometimes,
But didn't want you leaving me behind.
You've left your footprints in my mind,
And we'd always been two of a kind.

You left a silence at your leave,
A quiet calm of nothingness.
No more joyful barks of love.
No more dancing eyes to mine.

You left too soon;
It was not yet your time.
Gazing at the moon alone,
I hope you'd be alright.

The price had to be paid,
That I'd always knew.
But why did that cost,
Just had to be you?
