PART I:

My friend I must leave you now
For I know not what I feel
As there are walls I have built, so sturdy and strong
And my greatest concern is, how do I heal?
You say we are each other's heart and soul
Yet I do not even know my own
So how may I give you all that I am
If, within myself I cannot be alone?
I need to remember who I am
Find my heart and learn my soul
I ask not for your sadness, but your smiles
For to greater know myself is my only goal
Yes, Ieave you now for another, yet it is myself
As my heart cries for quiet contemplation within
To see the purpose of my soul
For here sacred intentions are written
Mercy be revealed
As my heart breaks in his absence
Allow me to be reminded of my heart's desires
That I may once again experience his presence
So, I will stand alone
Strong, proud and kind
Until his breath caresses my soul
And he reminds me why...
PART II:

A friend I have known
For eternity it seems
Has left me alone
Awakening me from my dreams
I recall in my thoughts
From not long ago
When I could feel her breath
Deep within my soul
Some say that time
Makes the heart grow fonder
Yet in these few words
I shall forever ponder
For I do believe love
Can withstand all power
Except for the lonliness within
Gazing endlessly, hour upon hour
I discover an emptiness from within
Though it existed from the start
And she knows better that I
How to keep love apart
So I will stand alone
Strong, proud and kind
Until her breath caresses my soul
And she reminds me why...

Remind Me Why...

PART III:

My friend I have grown so
And I now know who I AM
As you return in the grace of our Light
I AM proud to walk with you once again
Within my heart's breath I AM guided
As each moment I flow with creation
Knowing the wisdom and love from within
I embrace your mirrored demonstration
So much light I see within you
For your smiling eyes give away your heart
My brother, we have completed a cycle
We now stand
At new beginnings, opening hearts, a brand new start
Let us break down the walls
Our beliefs have held captive for so long
Knowing within our newfound balance
That the power of two stand strong
It is an honor to share this experience with you
On the journey of two soul's remembrance
May we know that our love knows no bounds
Letting go of the pains on our conscience
In the blending of our hearts
We shall share not another good-bye
As I embrace your breath, your smile, your eyes
And you remind me why...
