A Shared Farewell

You rode in on the wind,
changed my world with your smile
and the conversations we had
with just our eyes.

Oh, what if I had never seen those eyes!

what if fate hadn't been so kind;
what if I had been too blind?

I wish I could hold you longer,
that today we didn't have to part. 
Don't speak, just breathe our love
in the silence in the air.

there's never complete silence 
when I'm with you
it's the only time I can actually hear 
the beating of my heart

It's time for you to leave again
but first, before you go
and waiting once more fills my days,
kiss me one last time.

what if  you had shunned my kiss,
your warm embrace I'd surely miss

Oh, what if our love had gone unspoken!

Don't think it! My arms are always open,
my whispers ride within your heart,
whenever you return again
my love is here for you.
