The Journey
You light my world like fireflies
For all those people who hate goodbyes
You left and said you’d soon be back
That very patience we people lack
But you stayed away for many years
As the river flowed from all our tears
Then when you returned from the darkest grey
It was night and yet not day
You told us about the adventures you had
None of which were very sad
They asked you about forgotten jewels
You told them they were being fools
For the only treasure that you had seeked
Was a golden heart so pure, so sweet
Far and wide you looked for days
Hoping that you wouldn’t astray
You realized soon that the treasure was home
And now the path was clearly shown
That day you said, “Hello, if I may?”
I smiled at you and said, “Please, stay!”
You light my world like fireflies
We are two of those people who hate goodbyes…
