““Our Private Rhyme I wish we could go back in time. I thought you'd live forever. I feel I'm only half our rhyme. You left and somehow I must climb back to live without your laughter. Can't we please go back in time? I try to smile, pretend and mime I'm fine, survived disaster, but know I'm only half our rhyme. Will any spring or summertime shine without your teasing whisper? I wish we could go back in time. I hope that you'll forgive my whines. I'm trying to be braver So lonely being half our rhyme. I feel you near. We're intertwined. Your spirit makes me stronger. I know we can't go back in time. I'll strive to be our private rhyme.””
