I. The Dream
My heart yearns, my heart burns.
A part of me is so very far away
For far too long have we been apart.
My legs grow weak, and I sway.
It is as if I've lost an arm or leg.
I need him as I do the air in my lungs.
He lifts me up into the starry sky
Like a ladder with many rungs.
Without him, I am nothing.
With him, I am everything and more.
Life without him is not worth a pea.
Life without him is a tremendous bore.
II. The Meeting
We finally join together once more
Yet we're more apart than ever.
It's like everything that was is not.
Who dared to go betwixt us and sever?
Our bond is not there, like it never was.
Inexplicable it is, and for truth do I pray.
While a part of me understands reality,
Another part wishes the fantasy would stay.
Alas, when all is said and done,
I am as I have been and will always be.
Alone once more, a sole leaf in the wind,
A grain of sand on the beach, a ship in the sea.
III. The Truth
As always, the truth is provided
By those who guide me from up above.
I pray for rain, and they give me a flood.
I pray for peace, and they send it with a dove.
I asked the heavens for understanding,
How a bond can appear and disappear so fast.
Though most things in life are fleeting,
Love and memories of it are supposed to last.
It was not real, they explain to me,
We created the situation for a reason.
I had to learn the pain of an emotional drought
In order to fully appreciate the fertile season.
Strength and wisdom were their gifts,
And, as always, their plan uplifts.
