So torn was this faint, faithful heart of mine
between love past and love that's much more new!
The more time I spent with him, feelings grew,
and we felt safer together—a sign?
Yet guilt holds me back out of dear concern
that this is treachery against who loved me
first. But he's dead, so should I not be free?
And he answered, "Go and love, don't return."

So here am I, no longer burdened, for
I've been set free from grief's bonds and guilt's chains!
My heart, once broken, found a missing piece
in someone else's warm and tender core.
A new bond forged, may our love ever reign
our hearts, till their beatings forever cease!
