about

Dedicated, with love, to Esther Morgan.

I cannot say too much on this topic, but I wrote this when there was a threat of my best friend Esther being deported back to England. I had become incredibly close to her at the time when I wrote this song, and I needed to channel all my worry and hurt and love into a song so that I wouldn't be tormented by this possibility.

Esther is an incredible artist, as I allude to in the song, and she is someone I will always treasure and value.
Sometimes you meet people in life who are such profound, beautiful treasures, no matter whether you are close to them or whether they stay in your life or not. That is exactly what Esther is and will always be-- wherever she goes and, whatever great things she does.

lyrics

Imagine me now, holding in my arms
Holding your heart closely,
A rhythm next to mine

Will it remain here, tucked inside my arms?
Will I ever have to,
Have to give you up?

If that is so, then I will say goodbye, my love
And I will walk somewhere all by myself
Where all by myself?
Walking till I meet the peace of God
Walking till I meet the peace of God

I know that I will find rest
Comfort in words He has blessed

Imagine our life, after this monsoon
Will we still spend time here,
In your lovely room?
Will you still hang your paintings on the wall
Forming them with love,
and showing each to all

I hope that that does not change
As time passes they age

I don't know the meaning of forever
But I believe you'll aways be a treasure
Even if we're not together,
In my heart, you will be always treasured.
