Caught in a whirlwind that won't let me go
Life seems to have caught up to me
Sometimes I sit, wondering what I can know
Sometimes I'm patient: I wait to see

Sometimes my mind wanders
Down corridors of black
And sometimes when I close my eyes
I see you looking back

It's not that your image is burned into my retinas
Or that I can't let you go
It's that I remember what used to be
A Past passed long ago

And while I start my new life
Away and safe from your curse
I still feel the hurt and strife
That feeling, the Worst

But I choose to move on
And learn from your Lesson
And now that you're gone
The pain has been lessened

I do think about you
But not as before
I think of you as a Person
And not just a *****

But as I look and compare
The Past to the Present
I notice something shared:
Love is more than a present.

The love Before and the love After
Both gorgeous and pure
Something to strive after
Something that's sure

And though I don't know
What the Future may hold
I know that in the future
She'll be the one that I'll hold

She'll be the one that I'll tell,
Everything's going to be okay
She's my moon at night,
My sun in the day

I'm living for me
That much is certain
But also for She
There behind her Curtain

There, She's protected
She lets in few
I stand there, collected
And speak of Love True

And as She peeks
From the corner of the veil
My love for Her peaks
As my doubts trail

She beckons me closer
Drawing me in
I want Her the most and
For Our Love to begin

I stroke Her hair gently
Careful not to tug
And hold Her closely
So Our bodies are snug

I look into Her eyes
A beautiful blue
With Her, a love dies
With Her, Love begins anew
