On My Way To Life
You served a very special time in my life
I needed you then more than you realized
You gave me strength and hope as I grew
You expressed your love openly
I drew you in, as though my last breathe
I lived on your smile...your presence was as nourishment
Your touch seemed as stroking the flames of a fire
Love abounded in my heart and head
Each day was dependent on thoughts of you
In time, we changed and became independent
No longer focused on each other
Life itself, became a distraction
We move apart sharing an emptiness
With only memories to fill the void
You became you...we both grew
Never really saying good bye...
