The Answer

Inadvertently, & I had hoped against hope...
But for the first time in my life,
I felt all my confusion fall away:
So this is what I've been looking for...

The question I couldn't formulate into words
Brought to life so easily upon your lips;
The answer I so desperately sought
Floating in the great chasm that divided us.

We watched the answer grow faint
As Life pulled our boats further away.
Time helped the tides to become stronger
& I dared not cast an anchor to stop it--

Because your happiness is my priority
& I couldn't bear to relieve my own pain
By giving a part of it to you.
So...good-bye!
