Carry On

I awoke in sadness unbearable
For I knew you were really gone
This imperfect new day, this now darkened path
Pale, washed out dawn sky, you gone your way, I mine
How can I carry on with this emptiness inside?

Clearing sky, night stars yet shine,
Have I cried enough, pain filled soul
The new sun comes up, the world softened and clean
I must rejoice for I have no choice but to carry on
A life to continue devoid of your love

I remember our fables and dreams
Songs sung of a tomorrow now not to come
Desolate witness to the depth of my pain and sorrow
How now do I continue my journey? World washed pale and indifferent
How do I carry on along this now meaninglessness path?

Where are you, where do you travel now?
What are your tomorrows, who brings you happiness?
Do you share my sorrow, know my pain?
Oh, these questions of a thousand of dreams
What do you feel, what world do you see
My lost lover, please talk to me

Sudden whispers from the darkest corner
Flashes of hope, yearning, reaching, to hold once more
Learning what it was that made you run, healing begins
Trying my best to relearn and join once more
Questions of a thousand dreams begin to feel real
What do you feel, what world do you see, what future?
My lost lover, please talk to me

And we are
Together once more, shared future bright
The love I’ve held now filling my world yet again
Hand in hand we walk a path shining with light
Shared journey now walked with happiness and love
Sun beaming warmth on our steps, birdsong rich in our days
Together again we carry on along this now enlightened path

We carry on…
