Apart - Yet Together

Forgive me...
I now know what you knew then.

The greatest gift...
you can give the person you love is their freedom...
and this gift you gave to me.
Your love was pure.

You said...
we were two stars shining bright in the night sky,
apart - yet together.

You said...
that on a higher level you loved me.

You said...
that you were at one with me and in time...
I would be at one with you.

You said...
that somewhere along the way...
and in a very special way - we would meet again.
