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
