Today |
Today, if I could be a color, I think I would be blue, Cause today I found out, for a time, I'll be apart from you; For blue is the color of the sky, wide and high above, A symbol of the emptiness of what will be my unrequited love. Today, if I could be a tree, a weeping willow is what I'd be, Cause there would be constant tears, shed while you're away from me; But the willow, when assaulted by the storm, knows enough to bend, So I'll become as flexible and endure, until your return, my friend. Today, if I could be a bird, I would choose to be a swan, Cause in the beginning I'd be ugly, knowing you are gone; But with the passage of time and the memory of your face, I'd grow again to be a creature having style and grace. Today, if I could be a season, winter would be my theme, Cause without your inspiration, I'd lose the desire to dream; I would go into hibernation, for the time you are far away, And bloom anew, after the cold, your return being my Spring Day. Today, if I could be a tool, I would be the map in your car, Cause if you must be away, I could help show you where you are; And should you happen to lose your way, while we are moving apart, I'd be able to help you, find your way back to my lonely heart. Today, if I could be anyone at all, I know I would be you, Cause if I were, I'd be able to see, what you're going through; I'd really understand your need, to discover your own space, And if there will be room for me, when you return to this place. But today I have no magic wishes, so I must remain as me, Saying I will always be with you, even as I set you free; And know that in your travels, may they lead you far or near, When next you feel you need me, remember, I'll be waiting here. |
