Once in autumn, decades ago
Our joint path began
Determined to last
Forever, together as one

Sharing joy and sorrow
My love, I can‘t be without you
As fate has ordained
Inextricably linked with each other

We brave the storms and with each day
Our bond‘s growing stronger
And becoming unviolable
As fate has ordained

We enjoyed our trust and wayed for us
And even wade through the deepest rivers
But we always knew one day
We may be alone

Now coldness takes its place
As constant companion
The spark of life dies
With the loss of the beloved

Time will tell if one can come to terms
With death and relume
The fire within in defiance of fate
Rain is falling and hides the tears

Of bereavement
The morning mist on the graveyard veils descending void
As time has ordained
With (just) a remembrance in our hearts
