I want to believe
I’ll see you again
Feel you nuzzle my hand,
Your breath on my skin
There’s an ache in my heart and a hole in my soul
Yet still to your memory
I securely hold

Memories of you
still flood my mind
Your bright dancing eyes, Loyalty that was one of a kind
Your place beside me could never be filled
I wish you could stay and, Watch over me still

Thank you dear Leia,

for all that you gave me
Your legacy and life
Will always amaze me
As long as I live I’ll keep the flame of your memory burning
Even as I , a new chapter
am turning

Farewell faithful friend and loyal companion
Till our paths cross again, When we meet at
Journey’s end
