Separated

Ten years gone! ten long years between Not lost on the love and care you gave, Not lost where the path of thorns had been A hindrance to our struggle -- deeds brave. Do you remember how, like a barnacle I clung to you, and how, like a baby I cried and the tears started to trickle Bubbles that flowed slow and steady? I remember our past years together; Your friendship, your words -- such fun And those times that live in me forever Like the light from the sun... I continue in the light you left behind. I have also trudged the dark alley-way Without a lamp to gleam inside my mind And no fur coat to keep the cold away. And now, do come, come back to stay To rekindle hope in my embers again; Come fill the gap left open on that day, That misty morning, when you left for Spain.
