Soft notes Lilting Drifting across the water Carried on a beam of sunlight. One who touched my mind One who touched my heart You were always over there. I'd reach for you Only to find you gone, But looking over my shoulder There you were again. Once more I'd reach Only to be disappointed... Grasping, flailing, Inevitably falling. You caught me Over and over. You'd set me aright And disappear Until I fell again. But where was I when you fell? I don't remember catching you... Ah...I recall now. You never fall. I waited and waited, Always close by, Not hoping you would fall But needing it just the same. I needed you to need me More than I needed you to catch me... As we are so alike I can offer you no compensation. I cannot fill in for what you lack, Because I often lack the same. What I can offer you Is understanding, A better understanding of who you are and why. I see so much of myself In you As I see you in me. I get angry at things you do and say, But I would do and say them No differently, And yet that angers me the most. The sun is steadily dropping Behind the horizon. With no more sunbeams to carry his tune The musician heads for home.Birth sign: Not entered
