Today

I woke up this morning to the rain

Not like a summer rain - it was so cold.

A fitting rain - dark, cold, hard, like my pain.

Yes, leaving was my choice but I still have pain untold.



My heart aches with the thought of you

I close my eyes and I can feel your gentle touch

Though I can hear our hurtful words cutting right thru

I still love you so very much.



This afternoon I saw a rainbow

After the rain as always, the sun came out

I felt the warmth but the chill refused to go

I still have this lonely ache - that's what leaving's all about.



Now the sun is setting - what a beautiful sight

I imagine you here with me savoring the beauty of this

But soon I'll be alone in the dark of the night

Once more remembering your eyes, your arms, your kiss.



Do you know you're always here with me?

I try so hard to forget the bad, just remember the good

I have to believe somewhere there's a future for you and me

Another time...              Another place...

If    only      we      could......
