I left you when I needed you the most
I left you when I needed you the most
that’s the way I love you though it costs
my strength, my tears and my aching heart.
I left you when I needed you the most
because you are so dear I don’t want you to get lost
in the maze of what life has generously given me.
I left you when I needed you the most
since needing is not love but a ghost
whose hollow inside knows not how to give.
Let our love be that of the waters and its boat
always abundant, light and afloat
but its anchor, oh so steadfast and intense.
