West - East

Flowers reflected in the water at sunset 
Colors blending in the many ripples of the sea
Your eyes couldn't see the difference
For the red and blue blurred 
Beginning where the sunset disappeared into the endless water
Your beautiful blue eyes shed tears
Adding to the flowers and the ripples
For the beauty was perfect and reminded you of me

Flowers reflected in the water at daybreak

Coming up from the sea

While I drink my English tea

Red roses enhance the pink clouds of the summer morning

It's beautiful, reminded me of you

All the moments we once shared now live in the past

Knowing what we had would never last

It was perfect but perfect isn't real

And neither were me and you

It's been a while

Time has passed

I have moved forward

But the sunrise pink and yellow

Mixing with the roses in the water

Brought up thoughts of you that made me smile

You wanted what I could never give you
You saw a woman I never was
You've always been lost
You weren't able to find a piece of yourself in me

You helped me see what I could be

Helped me breathe I set you free

I found myself in the colors that begin the day

I think of you from far away
