The Days To Come

The day the two of you first kiss Will be a sorry day for me A sudden cloud will block the sun And its shape will make me see The day you catch the flowers I'll still be looking for my one That will fit my senses and my soul Like you when our love began The day I receive the invitation Is the day I'll know for sure I'll decline of course: it would be to much For both of us to endure The day of your splendiferous wedding I'll be alone and weep I'll stop the clock and close the blinds And drink myself to sleep The day your little girl is born I will shower you with gifts For I have put my grief behind me And settled all my rifts The day some thirty years from now When we will meet again We'll talk all night, be close and know Our love was not in vain And inbetween, on all other days You'll cross my mind in many ways Obsessive or indifferent Recalling your smile, dreaming your scent Sometimes smiling, and sometimes sad With desire, or just plain glad That we met that special day Astonished by love's peculiar way Wondering where it all went wrong Sometimes weak and sometimes strong Yes inbetween, on all other days You'll cross my mind in many ways The final day my dying lips will Quietly say your name Cross what may the days to come I'll love you all the same [to N.]
