The Day I See You
The day I see you
is the day I find myself.
Every day, I look outside the window
and see what appears to be
never seems to be
what I want to see.
Just today, I see you walking
by the window still that I was by
causally strolling
along the road
down to eternity
leaving me behind.
That day that I saw you
happily wandering,
I realized that it is not me
but you that I need;
so I call out and reach
but rain, oh rain! washes you away.
It splash against the window.
It drips along the border.
It blots away the view.
It obscures you.
Leaving me behind,
lonely, cold, waiting.
I reach out still,
unable to see you go
not now, not then...
not again...
The day I see you
is the day I find myself.
And today, I see you,
wandering happily along the road
to eternity calling;
What is it you are calling?
My name? yes must be.
Wait for me...
I will come for you.
