In Parting

In the likeness of you, I'll see shadows through the night;

With thoughts of you, keep the embers burning bright.

Now that you've left, just one thing seems right - 

That in the darkness of today, you've found a light.

Someone to hold your hand, in sadness and delight;

In the light of day, and tempest of the night.

And if life brings you down; you're numb with fear,

Take a look at yourself and shed not a tear.

For by some twist of fate, if cupid's arrow,

Stains your eyes with even a hint of sorrow - 

I will curse the gods, and let them know,

That I'll give my today, and my tomorrow - 

To give you happiness; a reason to smile - 

Yes, I will gladly walk that extra mile.

And as I sing my song, I wish to thee:

Love and happiness, but please remember me!
