a farewell

i rowed the length of the maggiore to keep you from any harm. my muscles hurt like never before, but montreaux took it all away.
we can be happy here, with the front a distant memory.
we come from separate continents, but fate brought me to you. your belly grew bigger each week, like our love it did bloom.
we will build a family, we'll build a home.
early in the morning, as i stood right by your side, as you birthed our baby, and we prepared to begin our new life.
i stood right by your side, but fate was not with us that day.
i stood right by your side, but i could not say...
