    Camille, Camille

    Not to old, not to young and not to perfect,
    your scents, your voice echoes in the streets
    here in New York, New York and Cape Cod.

    No one told you to go, no told you to leave us,
    alone on the streets of New York, New York;
    the beaches of Cape Cod in wave after wave.

    They try to explain life’s tragedies as love,
    that blossomed before your smile awaked
    the life you held so dear, so pure to end.

    Who can forget you, your witty ways,
    your one in a million steps to heaven,
    a heaven you took with you Camille.

    To my dear old friend of 38 years, Camillo Bello, mon papillon i called him very often! He called me ma poule! We have so much in common me and him. My heart was sinking when I learnt that you were gone for ever my beautiful talented friend I love so much.
    I hope you are with Angels now. You are one yourself.
