Always

By: Joseph Cung Hu Lian

I was always yours...
With just a casual glance from you,
Even with your unspoken words which I received,
You touched me with the smile you wished to give...

Then my mind rushed back...
Back to a time when your warmth
Effortlessly triggered
A charge to every atom in my body

Gravity was powerless in your presence,
The sun and the moon lost their place in day and night
A view of Mt. Everest bowed to you..
I was always yours.

Then I remembered...
I remembered the storm I weathered
In the wake of your infinite absence.
Tossed in the wind and the waves as they pleased

The scars remain fresh,
Time lost its power and I was lost.
Pills and potions had given up...
Your enchantment was unequal.

Until I heard his voice again...
In the midst of my surrender,
He gave me shelter and I took refuge,
He offered me strength and I took it

A path to the unknown was offered
And I walked with him side by side and I was freed..
Freed from you, yet, I remain yours
And you to me which exists only in my thoughts...

I will always be yours!!
