To the One I Love
No one has ever understood me but
For you the exception no matter what
Which proves the rule that I would be a fool
Not to love you all these years as I do
All I ever wanted I find in you
But where do I find you when you are gone
When you are as far away as a star
And not our eastern visitor at dawn?
I feel inside of me and there you are
As enigmatic as ever and yet
No one has ever understood me but
For you the exception no matter what
Which proves the rule if only by regret
Our eastern visitor knows what I mean
Who visits me here in my loneliness
Departing westward with what might have been
And a sunset here is a sunrise there
Tomorrow is already yesterday
But now is the sunrise of everywhere
What you give me no one can take away
So I give you myself and nothing less
You have already done the same for me
And would a thousand times just as I would
If not this then what is reality?
I feel the real in you and it feels good
