This historic night
while the notre dame burns
i wonder about the nature of fire
that engulfs to a place of no return
some fires rage
against the dying of the light
while others raze
what was once burning so bright
my last visit to paris
the many promises i made
how i would come back
free and unconstrained
having found something real
real love
real meaning
real contribution
here i am now
torched in the flames of my ambition
watching helplessly
willing all into blind submission
there you are now
burning in some freak accident
i havent come back yet
all my promised destinations arent here yet
our conversations arent over yet
i havent introduced you to my real love yet
my promises havent landed yet
holding on tight to my spirit, that is undefeated yet
may be, we were never meant to be
destiny had other plans for you and me
our ashes will blend someday at the sea
until then, i will miss you, mine never to be
notre dame, you of astounding grace and beauty
our many conversations in my chaotic loneliness
will remain special in my heart and my memory
