Here you are

Here you are

Before my eyes

My feelings cannot lie

They feel things even more

Now that time has passed

And reasons wounds

Are not longer

Eclipsing the deeper truth

If there is any proof

That I loved you

You will feel it in my kindness

And in the forgiveness I show

Because I realise then

You were just so

Out of your depth

And did not know

What to do to fix something

That only needed tenderness

But even now

I forgive that too

How can you give something

You do not have

To someone opening their heart and hands

For love?

So I will just let a silence fall

Now

Upon this page

As in my minds eye

I see you walking away

And remember in my heart

How your face looked

When we parted

Oh what pain

So glad I never have to live through

Such a soul shattering goodbye

Again
