The long separation

I wanted to sing to you a melody,

A symphony that is sung by angels, maidens of heaven,

I forgave the steps you first took as an infant,

The long meters you drove, from my shadows to the light ,

How I wanted to spend but a minute with you,

With you on a bed that once was,

Wondering if the words "I Love You" ever meant anything to you

Not to hear you say them back,

All this time, I can't believe I could not see,

The small whispers in my ear

The drums that bang aloud in your heart,

You were the very breath I took,

The very sight I never had,

I am very aware of what we have passed,

A future we both predicted will come both our paths,

The division of two roads

Separated by nothing but personal greed and guilt,

I thought I would be happy to watch the sun set in your face,

I thought I would be like hail to fishermen on heavy seas and oceans,

I was wrong...

Good that God separated the heaven and the Earth,

Making heaven a destination far from my reach,

Though I still know we are to meet again,

Then truly the sun shall rise once more.
