I forgot how to miss her
Eventually
When the stars could no longer be seen
And the sky looked lonely
I forgot the way she smiled
Finally
When the tides have not waved
And beaches live unhappily
I lost the feel of her skin
Ultimately
As the moon has abandoned her kin
And the night weeps endlessly.
But I hear you say
Oh there is a day
And the night is perfect
Nothing missing from its grey
The tides are still an accomplice
In the sands' mischievous ways
And you still are smiling
Like nothing has changed.
My eyes spill the secret
As my smile bends wider
To her peaceful oblivion
My envy gets brighter
And yet I pray she never
Gathers the will to understand
My pain of loving her for the
Rest of eternity that still stands.
