Each time we say, "Goodbye" to one another -
- why is it my spirits fade and always sag?
Why can't the usual smile emerge from my face? -
- whatever I try to do my heart and I miss you.
Feelings never divulge their knowledge of us -
- feelings are just feelings and they creep up unannounced
One moment you are with me and my happiness is complete -
- the next moment you are gone and my nightmare begins.
True love never dies; it lives inside a person's heart -
- it is as constant as a daily sun bringing its own warmth
Orchid Lady I've told you, "I miss you" at least a thousand times -
- and living within my heart are another thousand words.
Throughout your illness I feel the very pain you do -
- these are not just words as ordinary words mean nothing
I wish I could say some magical words and take away your suffering -
- to know you are unwell brings such sadness to my thinking.
However you may feel today, one thing I want you to know -
- I am here for you and will stay by your side
It is time both our spirits began to rise and learn to smile again
Orchid Lady you complete my every happiness.
