The day you went away..

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.
