The day that I first saw you smile,
I knew you’d change my life -
You stroke me like a summer breeze,
You cut me like a knife.

I did not even know myself
But you knew what I meant.
I was a puzzle lying widespread,
You brought me to an end.

When I was searching for a whit,
You’d come and give me loads.
When I was feeling insecure,
You’d come complete my thoughts.

When you were walking next to me,
The way was not as long
And so I thought that you would stay
But life proved I was wrong.

I knew you were a migrant bird
Though I thought I had won,
But in a blink I stood alone,
Perceiving you were gone.

Our love was inestimable
Yet wasn’t worth a dime;
In retrospect you leaving was
A matter of a time.
