felt like i was visiting an old friend
seems so long ago that i was working in my cave
sunsets and sun itself was a luxury
and yet when i was in the sun
it was so hot
not my friend
but a torturer
for i had no time to enjoy
the warm richness
of a sunny day
or even the semi-cool evening
seems so long ago
that i dreamed of being in paradise
where the sunset is beautiful
the warm gentle nite breeze
is so refreshing
the water beats on the shore
and invites you in
share my warmth
share my energy
let me revive you
the briskness of a wave
lapping at you
gently pushing you around
seems so long ago
it seems as if the pain
lasted so long
it heals oh so slowly
the hurt remains
but i am comfortable
wearing it now
i don't see her face
in my dreams
i don't get constant
little reminders of her
oh no i haven't forgotten
our love is still in place
but she allows me to live
to have new love
to have new pain
she doesn't try to pull me back
but everyday
i realize i can't
feel her
or hear her
she can't help me
make it thru the day
or nite
so am i sad
do i miss her
sad no
miss her yes
is she gone
not from my heart
but from my side
seems so long ago
to not be able to look in her eyes
or hear her voice
do i understand
no
do i accept
yes
i move forward
and at times
it seems so long ago
but right now it feels like
just a minute later
no now it has passed
it is dark and
i think of sleep
and what a great sunny day tomorrow will be
with a chance for a another
average beautiful sunset
seems so long ago
