I have only slipped away into the next room.
I am I and you are you and whatever we were to each other, that we still are.
Call me by my name, the one you gave me.
Speak to me in the easy way you used to and put no difference into your tone
Laugh, play and smile and think of me
Let my name be ever the household word that it always was
Let it be spoken without an effort
Life means all that it ever meant and it is the same as it ever was
Why should I be out of mind just because I am out of sight?
I am but waiting for you, waiting for just an interval.
I'm somewhere very near, just around the corner
And I love you just as I always did
