 The Poetry of Love

Separate Roads


If I'm not the one you reach for
in the night
or who brings you a smile by morning light

if it's not what you feel in a special song
to know that with me is where you belong

you can't wait to see
when your hectic day ends
the trials and troubles
my love transcends

whose kiss leaves you breathless
and touch makes you weak

whose love gives you strength
for that mountain so steep

If I can't ease your longing
or quench your desire

If my smile's not your sunshine
or my touch lights your fire

and my hearts not your shelter
from the cold cruel world
If there's still something more that you need
Than to know on my love you can always depend
then I know that its time to secede

if you loved me then nothing could tear me away
from the arms that I love more than life
just say that my love for you is not in vain
and I'll stay right here by your side

If not, then..

Don't hold my love hostage
time has come to let go
For time is too priceless to waste
the dream of a  true love lives on in my soul
A healing love that makes a heart whole
and gives home to a love now displaced

Now a new journey ahead of us lies
leaving this place where love once abode
Dry my tears and face a new sunrise
Moving on now down two separate roads.
