Adieu Quote by Eric Nickel
“My Masterpiece complete, Sir Eric's Opus. Conductor or Love, Passion, Romance, Joy. A Song, A Dance, A Symphony. I scream to the World. I have freed a heart, Saved a mind, Touched a Soul. Now I watch sadly, As you walk away, As they all do. Love's Champion, Fate's running Joke, If you listen close, You can hear him giggle. As you go, Know I Love You, And please, Never once look back, To see if I'm alright. For if you are smiling, I shall endure, Smile, Cry, Until I die... I know my part, I shall play it well, As my heart breaks.”
