Around the age of fourteen,
I met the one who changed my scene.
Sun and moon, sea and shore, storm and calm’s embrace,
He was my light, my saving grace.
Beautiful, perfect, eyes that intoxicate,
Tall and strong — my everything, my fate.
When he left, my world fell apart,
My sun went dark, my shattered heart.
In that cold hospital room, I couldn’t believe,
I screamed his name, begged time to reprieve.
Saw his chest still, my soul torn apart,
I lost you, my forever heart.
In the coffin, endless tears I cried,
At the funeral, I lost myself inside.
Pain sank deep, time lied to me,
“Heals all wounds?” — No, it only lets them be.
At nineteen years, the sun shone anew,
I met someone who made me feel true.
I spoke of you, my love long past,
She understood, a shelter vast.
We married, a son was born,
Satoru, your name, my strength reborn.
I see your smile in his eyes so bright,
In his laughter, your light.
Decades passed, the longing stayed,
Alone I cried, love never swayed.
My wife understood, gave me grace,
But my heart still holds your place.
Until one calm night, I passed away,
On the same day you smiled that day.
December 24th, I found you again,
In the beyond, together, no end.
You, Satoru, my first and only,
Through time, through space, in eternity.
I promise, love, forever to be,
Until eternity brings you to me.
