Richard de Warrener - mercenary captain, friend, lover.
He was all this and more. For five years we were together. Not always
in the same place at the same time, our jobs saw to that, but he was
always my best friend. Then he was gone, killed by a soldier's sword on
yet one more battlefield. Grief was probably an understatement to
describe what I felt. Without even a body to say goodbye to, only an
unmarked grave with those others who had fallen that day.
My lover's gone,
his boots no longer by my door
He left at dawn,
and as I slept I felt him go
Returns no more
I will not watch the ocean
My lover's gone
No earthly ships will ever bring him home again
Bring him home again
My lover's gone
I know that kiss will be my last
No more his song
The tune upon his lips has passed
I sing alone
while I watch the ocean
My lover's gone
No earthly ships will ever bring him home again
Bring him home again
My Lover's Gone - Dido
