It broke her heart and she wanted him to stay
But not even her gentle hands could persuade him another way.
He was gone for what seemed to be years,
and his (14)__________________ lover (15)______________ everyday with tears

November 1st was the last time she cried

Holding hands with his (29)________________ on El Dia de la muerte

Hold my hand under the moonlight
All we have is just today
Until my bones just blow away.
