You Longed the Most
We walked on uphill track of difficult times together
The tired times you didn’t treasure, passed you by
Hidden within your spent eyes sleep didn’t appear
But you would not know why.
The road we travelled reached its end one day
Someone planned for me another lonely journey
That took me beyond your finite reach far away
But you would not know why.
On a rain drenched dusk many painful years later
You would find me in a rainbow on the fallen sky
Your eager stride would stop to take you farther
But you would not know why.
Drifting clouds would melt me, in your eyes I’d rain
Tears would cascade, they won’t dry even if you try
You'd see sleep return to your unclosed eyes again
But you would not know why.
When the moist eyes would close in sleep you’d lost
You’d see me in dream, a bird from the rainbow I’d fly
In your sky with colors of true love you’d longed the most
But you would not know why.
