A villanelle.

Just one more dream before I have to die
Just one more hope before I say goodnight
This place where lovers never say goodbye

Our memories were once tomorrows’ sky
Upon the magic born of our delight
Just one more dream before I have to die

Our kisses were their reasons for reply
Dispelling worries everything’s alright
This place where lovers never say goodbye

And though some sorrow tests my reasons why
I turn to you to bring me back to light
Just one more dream before I have to die

And some dark thrill challenges will to try
I turn to you and trust renews my sight
This place where lovers never say goodbye

The tears of years are now a gentle sigh
As one more moment finds us holding tight
Just one more dream before I have to die
This place where lovers never say goodbye
