Memories of the past glimmer in the dead of the night like stars

To my lover

You touched a deep chord in me
It played silently and yet the sound reverberated
throughout the whole earth and filled me
Such energy and vitality
I could scarcely contain it all.

I loved you with all of my heart
I nearly gave up everything just to be in your presence
When I gave you the greatest gift if could possibly give
- Freedom - I still hoped you'd return to me
Want me as much too.

But in giving you freedom and losing you
I gained a soul.

My heart learned in it's pain to embrace
That which it found hardest to love - myself.
I'm still learning and my rejected self often ends up in tears
Waiting to be rescued by someone worthy.

I meet you in my dreams from time to time
We chat but I'm really under no illusions that you think about me
Even if I would like that sometimes.

I still love you
I still miss you at times
Part of me still hopes
That one day I will have the opportunity
To make you understand just how much I loved you then
And still do.

Goodnight my love
