I remember those days
When your spirit reached out to me.
I remember those days,
And the way you used to look at me
Before you went inside
To a life I can’t share with you this time.

Meanwhile, I breathe,
I wrap myself in a high desert breeze,
And I watch the storms blow
‘Cross our garden, far away and long ago.
And I feel that time is everything
And there’s so much, so much I don’t know.

I remember my hand on your shoulder
And you, so deeply far away.
I remember the chill it gave
When I saw you locked in that tiny cave,
When you went inside
To a place I can’t share with you this time.

Meanwhile, I breathe…

I remember the day I moved away,
Stepping lightly on your creaking porch.
I left an orchid there
Hoping you would care for her
The way you wouldn’t care for me
When you went inside,
To a life I can’t share with you this time.

Meanwhile, I breathe…
