1 Where do you go when all goes wrong?
2 Whose voice do you hear?
3 Is there an echo, whispering please be strong –
4 the end of your hurting is near.
5 Why can’t you take just one more step?
6 Leave all you have behind.
7 Sail through the sea and don’t look back,
8 the person you seek has resigned.
9 I want you to stay, but I can’t say,
10 how do I phrase this aloud?
11 You need to be free without having to flee –
12 our feelings were never allowed.
13 You need to be free, and I’ll always see,
14 shades of violet and blue.
15 We shared a dream but there was no gleam,
16 it was not – after all – you.
17 Yet on the mountain peak,
18 though the day is bleak,
19 I find the perfect view.
20 No last wish could ever make my love for her less true.
