It's been a year since you are goneLeaving behind a castle of memoriesI visit the castle to meet youWhen the weight of the world pulls me down;I sit, draped in your pashmina shawlFeeling the warmth of your embrace,I touch your belongings again and againTo feel your essenceI gaze at your photographs all dayTo relive the moments spend with you.

My tears don't know how to stopTill I fall asleep in the castle of memories;Your soul gently caresses my soulI wake up, feeling unburdened.It's true you are not hereBut I can feel you close to me;Your memories are inked in my heart
And you are just a thought away
As a guardian angel, you look after meAnd teach me that love is stronger than death.
