How different
Days seem
Hours feel
Minutes become
Knowing or not knowing
Whether you are loved
Let me your gentle healer be
You who have laid so much kindness on me
For only love can mend a broken heart
And I, good friend, know where to start
You're on your own now
No sheltered cove
To moor your boat in
Nobody to polish your sideboard
And change the light bulb
So you discovered how
The thing called love
Can suddenly transform
Into a forest of loneliness
And endless searching
