Call my name aloud the fond names, The names of love when we were alone and close Hear me answer the sound and timbre of my voice Echoing through the empty hours and empty night Carrying my love, alive and strong Hold on my love-nothing has changed We are still those names of love My love is wrapped around you. As my arms were in life You are safe, protected, Just as you always were Feel the comfort of my love, as I feel yours Do not despair, this is just a little parting: I am alive in you as you are in me We are still those fond names of love.
