Under the Spring Blossoms

Under the spring blossoms

You told me the tale of that time

Of how you nearly died

And of what precious gift

These passing years have been

A tear fell from my eye

When I realised

How little I really knew of your life

And of how much remains silent

If we never take the chance

To open the book of our heart

To be read

These precious moments are just a tiny fraction

Of time

And yet sometimes they reveal the truth of the ocean

That moved out from that pivotal experience

Carrying us on to our destiny

There are times I cry with the missing of you

Even though I know you are close

There are moments when I wish

I could sit with you quietly

And hold your hand

Gazing into your eyes

But sadly you were taken from me

Too soon

And still

I will always remember

As long as I live

That the most important part

Of who you were

And what you longed for

Continues to live on

Deep inside my heart
