**dedicated to the memory of Alex North**

He loved music and the stars,
That burn so brightly in the distant skies.
He was fond of melancholic poems,
The ones that speak softly of eternal things.

He would listen to the quiet sound of the rain,
Standing by the wet window for hours on end.
He would breathe in eternity, the scent of damp earth,
Catching leaves in the golden autumn fall.

And I was madly in love with his eyes,
Where the stars and sadness were reflected.
And I was madly in love with his eyes,
Without a doubt, I loved everything about him, gazing into the distance.

He so loved the frost, and the rain, and the nights,
The cold wind, the whisper of the darkness.
At times it seemed he didn't love, however,
Either the light of day or the noisy bustle.

At times he seemed very lonely,
At times it seemed he loved nothing at all.
He withdrew into a world of gloomy roadsides,
But I couldn't help but notice him.

And I was madly in love with his eyes,
Where the stars and sadness were reflected.
And I was madly in love with his eyes,
Without a doubt, I loved everything about him, gazing into the distance.

And though he lived in his own misty world
Among poems, rain, and silence,
I found in his cold lyre
The warmth of an unexpected spring.

I saw light where others saw shadows,
I accepted him just as he was.
And I don't need any other opinions,
There was a mystery in him, a good tiding.

For I was madly in love with his eyes,
Where the stars and sadness were reflected.
And I was madly in love with his eyes,
Without a doubt, I loved everything about him, gazing into the distance.
