The Only Way To Go

How quiet the world had become; I heard but faint whispers, dedications galore from earth and sky,
It offered up sacrifices of gentle breezes, laden with moonglows and wishes of endless passers-by.
Though I sat alone now, watching the history of starlight reach my eyes to tell their universal tales,
I knew that I was one among many; bonded to brethren of dreamers preaching what forever prevails.
Images of her everything were still fresh in my mind; her shape, her face, and the welcoming wiles,
I found myself awash in every sensation I'd known before and fought off with my customary denials.

Too easy are tears, too simple any regrets; the best of what we've shared will always show in me,
When God brought you into my life you were the missing piece of Heaven I always longed to see.
I express my adorations through words, but they will never compare to the joys I've come to know,
Forever wouldn't be time enough to appreciate the beauties of all you blessed me enough to show.
From one end of everything to the other side of all else, I'll remember each moment you were here,
As they've become a treasure so precious to me their worth has joined the things I hold most dear.

Dare to wish again, baby, please don't be afraid of those times your heart reaches out in yearning,
Just like when we were together, there's nothing as beautiful to see when love grows with learning.
No matter where you are, you're never farther away than the sweetest memory of all we've known,
It was that instant we both realized how far we had come and how deep these feelings had grown.
I only ask a last kiss, perhaps your smile, certainly one night to last me a lifetime, soft and slow,
Were the last thing I ever do to be reborn in your womb for eternity, then it's the only way to go.
