Dan Yesterday

All the nights through that has passed us by
and in the last few days - you would come to me while
I slept.

You sat by my side on the edge of my bed.
Gently whispering my name
lightly cupping my face - which is
something you always did to me. Especially
when you needed me to listen.
Pay attention you say
Do you remember the night long ago?
A night of great knowledge -
the we learned so well?
A night that what you needed most.

You looked deep into my eyes as if
looking there you would find a answer
and I thought my answer would never be enough
wondering for you and for me
if it would ever be enough

Wondering how after more than 20 years
the pain could still threaten to knock me down
the deep radiating pain that never leaves.

You looked so good to me.
talking to me - remembering about
days gone by...
We laughed and I cried
realizing I would always miss you

and...
My unconditional love would always be yours.

In your own words, that was something you
would aways need from me.
Sadly, it wasn't enough.
