Not Here, But There With You

I bring to bear the thoughts of parting smiles, Forever they will track me down the miles; The hardly hidden sadness that they cloak, The misting eyes in falling rain and smoke. Leaving you, the one who means so much, Allegiance sworn, I never will lose touch; And lock the promise in me, never fleeing, Affirmed with every fibre of my being. The silken dreams of friendship sheath each day, Despite I let the cards fall where they may; And in the light of all I see and do My heart belongs not here, but there with you.
