The day you
went away, you took a part of me with you
The moment
you closed your eyes, I could see nothing but dew
The day you traversed
that bridge, you left me longing to leap
The moment
you ceased to breathe, I could do nothing but weep
The day you
tread that path, you took away light from my day
The moment
you lost your beat, I could not sway my way
And,
The day you
crossed that shore, you left with me your skill to swim
The moment
you found your liberation, you filled my purpose to the brim
The day you walked
to your destination, you gave me radiance to find mine
The moment
you called it a day, you gifted me your endurance so that I could always shine
The day you
opened those doors, you gave me your art to forgive all wrongs that may be
The moment
you went away, you left a part of you with me.
