Amaranta…
You chased me through the spring meadows of my childhood
In the warm bird song summer sun
With you I never had a day of sorrow
As I look back at what we had done
I call you Amaranta
A flower that never fades
You were my rays of happiness
The Battle Scarred Journey 149
Through a thousand silent plays
How many words are there to express the way this feels
Even after separation from you I still cried alone in my dreams
So sad I was unable to show you how I felt
Guess it’s just the way life was
The cards that we were dealt
I call you Amaranta
My flower that never fades
You were my rays of sunshine
Through a thousand silent prayers
So now as we get older, separation looms again
I just wanted to say to you that you have always been my friend
But I think, no, I know you’re so much more than that
A hidden unused word, I think it’s just called love
So thank you Amaranta
My flower that never fades
You were my rays of sunshine
Through all my breathing days
I will always love you Amaranta
Until my life force fades away
You are my Amaranta
The flower that never fades.
