Faded

I'm on a poetry roll now ... :D
This is a song about one of my characters .. I won't tell you which one. That's up to you to guess ... >:) (though it's kind of a sad one) ... (and a spoiler, if you guess right ..) 
History says I faded like a flower, 
But there's so much that history doesn't know. 
I faded like the lighting splitting cloud banks, 
Like a thousand falling icicles on snow. 
Some say that I faded like a moonbeam, 
But I say it was like a dying star. 
Some say my demise was slow and gentle, 
But I was as the fire sparks flung far. 
But either way I faded, 
Yes I faded. 
History never dared to get that wrong. 
And what does it matter how I faded? 
No matter how they say it, I'm still gone. 
Though even as a broken, dying echo, 
Love came and shattered through my night. 
Now I've found eternity life echoes, 
Now I've found the brightest light. 
No I wasn't like the fading rainbow, 
Instead a falling star ran out of sky. 
But either way it's true to say I faded. 
And so for once, history didn't lie. 
Oh either way I faded, 
Yes I faded. 
History never dared to get that wrong. 
And what does it matter how I faded? 
No matter how they say it, I'm still gone.
