His life was lost, his love was lost, paradise was lost and all that was left were memories that were quickly fading into the distance. Everyone watched as the silent tears hit the carpet and the once golden boy crumbled. �My lover�s gone, no earthly ships will ever bring him home again, bring him home again.� Fin. �My Lover�s Gone� Written by: D.
