And Then
I loved you, once upon a time
and then you went away
and with no reason to the rhyme
it falls on me to say
to speak, create, and change what’s done
so I can be alright
and live today, until it’s done
and find you in the night.
So I imagine, through the fog,
you found your mom and dad,
your brother Michael, and your dog,
all the joy you had.
I imagine you have found
you never needed me.
What’s gone will always come around,
and now we both are free.
I’ll let you go, and fly away,
I’ll let my spirit rest.
I’ll spend no time on yesterday,
but try to live my best.
I may or may not shed a tear,
but not from guilt nor shame,
and all will wane each passing year,
each time I hear your name.
Goodbye my sweetheart, so long, love
you’ll always be a piece
of who I am, who I’ve become
and all which shall increase.
But you are happy now, and healed,
in your great afterlife.
No more sadness shall I feel,
because I’ll be alright.
