Farewell to a lesser Stormy God

I met you again today....
The years had come and gone...
What is it that remains?
What light shines through the cold, dark, stormy rain?
What is there left....
What is it that remains...
When the sun has long since set on our love?

I once loved you..and still I do...
only more...today...this moment...
Years have gone by,,,
You still love me...
Yet who is me?
i am not the me you knew,,,
So long ago...
Long ago... long since gone,,,
What is gone...the we.... in you and I ...
The you and I that was once a we...

Today is the first time...
Since you left me this is the first time since...
This is the first time you have looked into my eyes...
Looked into who I am today,,,
I can not help but see...the look you gave to me...
Reminds me of the times...
Those times when you were mine...
I was yours...
We were so different then...
What is there left that still shines on?
What is left since we were through?
A picture here...
A memory there...
Those nights we shared...
A passionate long embrace?

The years...oh the years...
The years have been good to you...
They have not been so good for me...
You aged gracefully...
But I left so much of me with you...
This is what I longed to say...
Still I hold my tongue today...
There really is nothing more to give....
I have no words left to say to you...
But words they are not all there is to say...

Still for me...in my memories...
There remains the dance with you...
Even if these long years since I have danced alone...
You left me with me through all those years...
To listen to the song we sang to one another so long ago...
To a song only we two shared... The sweet song...
only we could hear...
The last lyric to the last song...
The last bow to the last dance...
The last dance we danced today...

Somehow when you looked into my eyes....
It has been so long...since you looked into mine...
The memories...
The memories keep flooding back into my mind...
Of times we shared when we were young...
Then I see your smile in the child we both love...
From the love we made,,,
The love we made only now...
To see her smile today...
The smile of our child...that we once made...
with love...
Our child is the reason why we came here today...

Okay now it is time...
The passing ships that are our lives....
Ships that passed by each other long ago...
But the river that you are...
The river that I am...
We merged to share...
We poured into each other...
And we were one...
You took my name...
But then you were gone...
You took a different name...

Today...for a moment...
I passed through your eyes again...and you...
You passed through my eyes...
We passed through each other once again...
Once upon a time...
I was yours...
You were mine...
Now it is time to go...
You have yours...I have mine,,,

So many...many years...
So many...many years had passed...
And still, I couldn't let you go...
But you left me anyway...
I wanted to say...
It killed me to my soul...
I hold my tongue...
but here we are...
Between us is the child we made...
Our child you give to me...
For a day...

I look into your eyes...
I see your eyes in her...and my eyes...
All I have is love to give...
I see that you forgive... me,,,,
and I forgive... you...
Forgiveness may be all we have left to give...
To one another...but that is enough...

The time has come....
When if we spent another moment...
I would have to say...
What I can not say,,,
So when the child we made...
The child we made with love...
You ask her if she needs to go
For a brief moment...But still I know what you meant...
You wanted to say something to me...
But our child she declines...
I guess it will never be said...
From me to you..from you to me...
Not with spoken words anyway...yet I now know...
With flashing lightning eyes I see...
Your flashing eyes let it show...
In your eyes...
In your eyes I see..
I see the reflection of the flashing eyes in me..

Only now...
Only now you and I are still not you and I..
But I am a part of you...and you have your part in me...
How could it be...any other way...
That is what I long to say...
So long.....good bye...
