(for Minette)
How alive I did feel
in the times that we did share
and suddenly it was
as if the whole world
did lay wide open before us
and your crystal-clear laughter
brought joy day after day
and to the deepest part of my heart
you did penetrate
and everything had been too good and to well
until one rainy day that disaster waited on you
and a paramedic phoned me
but at times I do dream that we are still together
as if you are walking in through the open door.
