The day you leave



Oh the day you leave
A piece of me will die.
My heart a tangled weave
Where my heart will crack and lie.
And just like a rose my soul will wither
And my heart will tither
When my character will slither.
Like a depressed cat my person might be -perceived.

Those five months will be painful
At least from my part,
But I know I am grateful
For the five months before we were apart.
And just like a bush my heart reposes,
Even though my mind opposes
When my hands are being cut with the thorns - of roses
Yet you will always be my art.

I will send a letter to you
Every week my lover,
Wether I am yellow or sometimes blue
I know we wont be over.
Even though you will be over hundreds of -kilometers,
Where i cant but wish to spot you with -binoculars.
Yet my love for you is quite particular
And just like a 3 clover

my love for you will be -found.
Even though a part of me might not be -present,
Because without you abound
My pain and suffering will not be pleasant.
But even through time forgetful
I am not and will never be regretful
That I lover you & saw you become successful
And Instead of being the simple pawn

I was by your side as a king
And so were you in my board as one.
You turned my winter into a spring
Yet even if you leaving might be done.
I will always provide my love,
Through a river of flying doves,
And Him, who sees us up above
Supports us and that is how we won.

Because what we have is compared to true,
And even though the distance will do,
Even if i don’t know you for a month or two,
I will always wait for you.
Yet I hope you stay with me,
Even if the time left rushes,
Even if our hearts crushes
Or when we say something that blushes
We will overcome through.

But just like time,
When our relationship goes low
We will grow old like fine wine
And our relationship will grow.
Even though this distance might harm,
It will do great like a farm,
With our love accumulated inside a barn
We will know

I love you.
