Oh Vladimir, my dearest friend
I can not believe this is the end.
No one will ever know how much I cared,
Or ever understand the love we shared.
You were so much to me - they'll never know
You are a part of me - I can't let go

And how to say good-bye?
I will not even try
How can we parted be?
Can no one see?!?
That without you - I am not me!

And yet your spirit still lingers near
Fills me with warmth and dries my every tear
You are not gone from me, you are still here
And you will always be, my Vladimir

For you are part of me, and that will never die
I'll say farewell for now - but not goodbye
For in the end I know - you're always here
You're always with me now - my Vladimir.
