A Toast to Us

I am blind,

You are a ghost

And tonight,

We dance and toast

“To our health!”

Laugh you and I

Though we both know

I’d rather die

Than dance alone

Through this soft storm

Without your light

To keep me warm

Though I can’t see

I know your shine

And I wish

That it were mine

Though I know

It's one day soon

I must wait

Beneath the moon

For the day

When you and I

Can dance away

Our afterlife
