Love
The cup of coffee warms my hands
As I sit gazing toward the sky
The stars sparkle
The moon is so bright
In this quietest of the night
Embraced by nothing but solitude
I search through the old days
Let the memories relive themselves
Those innocent days were so short
I didn't know that then
When life was still young
The road ahead was still long
You came into my life
Like a sudden wind
Swiping through those quiet
Peaceful days of childhood
With love I learned happiness
With love I engaged in sadness
Soon I tasted the first
Salty tears running down my cheeks
My lips
When you were no longer there
To wipe them away
I regret all those times
When we were together
I didn't talk much
I thought love was just to keep
To feel
Afraid that it would be gone
As words coming out, becoming lies
All I did was closing my eyes
And feel love lingering in the air
So when you were afar
I still had something to keep
Now that I'm old
Love is adding into each day
I feel it strongly
I know it would never be gone
But still, it is unspoken
Perhaps it will when again, I meet you
When our lives rejoin
At the intersection of eternity
Those beautiful hairs
That you used to run fingers through
When you held me tight
Are now turning white
Time took away haft of them
Marking half my life is gone
Yes, all done by time
I grow old by each day
Would you still recognize me
When I come to meet you finally
Are you now a wrinkle man
Or still that same look the day you left me?
Tears have dried up
The pain can't hurt anymore
The lost isn't really a lost
Because I can keep you forever
Inside the heart of mine
It has become something greater
Even than love
My love
Doesn't need you beside to grow
My heart
Didn't stop the day you went away
It still beats, but no longer for me
It beats for you an me
The moon from the above is not lonely
As she seems in this late of the night
When people are sleeping
Up there, she is thinking
About the other part of her, the Sun
Only she can feel him
Knowing that he will miss her
She is not lonely
Neither am I
I feel you within my life
Like this moment
When I think about you
Those old days
are not yet old
