The Road
For Yvonne Rose
Each look between our eyes
lasts such a long time.
No matter where, we're in a place
that's all our own.
If a kiss could last forever,
I'd take that kiss,
though I should never.
Forever in that moment
looking into each other's eyes.
The look, a lasting memory,
even when the body dies.
If I knew when you were crying,
I would cry for you,
if I were there when you were dying,
I would die with you.
Could I have known you as a child,
I would have walked you by the hand.
When you are lonely without a lover,
I would gladly be your man.
If you found it was tomorrow,
and that you had missed today,
would the loss then bring you sorrow,
if there was no love tomorrow?
True lovers went away,
they lived today.
Spirits touching without fear,
it's through the spirit that we hear
a truthful feeling from the heart.
It is only the distance
that keeps us apart.
Some day will consume us.
Only we can know the time
that is a part of what we feel.
As our feelings fly between us,
don't deny the spirit's real.
P. J. Campise
