If you came to visit me
At that moment of night
When shadows lose their way
And can’t pursue us;
Would you accept my love,
Or frown at my faults?
Would you hear a song of hope,
Or a litany of sorrow?
Would your fingers brush my cheek,
Or hold my hand?
Would you dance and laugh,
Or lie down quietly beside me?
And, if we could travel in time,
Would you choose the Past,
Or what is yet to come?
Would you speak of all we did,
Or of what we could have done?
Perhaps you would just stare
In silence and wonder
Marveling at all that was,
Watching memories disappear
On the wings of songs
That only we would hear.
Or maybe you could come
At that moment
When darkness, defeated,
Surrenders its soul to loving light.
You can come anytime,
The future awaits
Draped in a pure white
That the Past cannot stain.
The room is warm
And the walls smile softly
Ready to accept all burdens,
And forgive all wrongs.
Maybe soon you will come
And we will be together.
