You were here with me  
in my dream  
  
I would rather you were here,  
colors gleaming gold and copper in the sun  
through the jet of your coat;  
  
I would rather you were here,  
walking paths 'round the fields and along the streams  
  
I woke; without a thought, planned to wander,  
you scampering at my side,  
your brightness alighting my life;  
your name come to life  
  
I can see you still  
  
My heart aches to have you here:  
I wonder how you'd be with those   
seven heads taller than you,  
how many creatures you would reign  
  
You were always magical:  
your wide eyes alert, awake, alive;  
your presence a piece of synchronicity  
  
Maybe I was here to save you, in your youth;  
maybe you were here to save me, too.  
  
Maybe I was here to give you my heart, my love;  
maybe you were waiting to let me love you  
  
Maybe we always knew we would part,  
maybe you knew everything I didn't know I knew  
  
All I know is that I know you, still,  
and that you know me too  
  
All I know is that I love you, still,  
and that you love me too  
  
First loves set a mold in our hearts,  
I've heard it said;  
you, my cherished one, broke every mold,  
broke every hated rule:  
  
You were the one who explored with me,  
you were one who loved without questioning,  
you were the one who is all and more than you are  
  
My beautiful boy:  
if love is an instant and a foreverness,  
if forgiveness can be begged of you,  
love knows you forgive me and miss me, too:  
  
Forever apart,  
forever with me,  
forever loved,  
forever true:  
  
My beautiful one,  
my Liberty;  
and I am yours, too
