Today when we were talking I felt at peace and so comfortable
Now you have left for awhile and everything has changed -
- the sky has become overcast and apart from car noises, it is so quiet
Orchid Lady without you; nothing remains the same and I miss you so much.
Should you ask me to write what I miss about you I would be forever writing
I have no doubt in my mind my writings would span the Earth many times over
You see, I can't simply write, "I miss you," because it is not just a case of us being apart
Without you there is no happiness in my life; It would have no sense of purpose.
I picture a bright sun without any warmth - a sun that just appears to float in the sky
Should there be a full moon - no moonbeams would ever entice our evenings together
Stars would simply fade and I would never see them adorn the night sky with their sparkling
Blazing comets would cease to continue their never-ending journey through the skies.
Perhaps I would take a walk through our forest and see no beauty in its majesty of colour
I would never see the animals that love and put their trust in you and the flowers would hang lifeless
Trees would stand there with empty branches and no birds would sing from their greenery
I would reach out for your hand only to find an emptiness that would fill my heart with such sadness.
You see my lovely Orchid you are the creator of my daily living; in fact you are my life
Should you come home right at this moment my happiness would rejoice with me -
- and the sun would shine again while the moon would wait for night to say, "Hello" to you
The night stars would light up the sky like billions of glowing diamonds and comets soar.
To fill in my lonely moments I am going to take a walk to the wishing well and our bridge
At the wishing well I will spend a few moments thinking of you and my love -
- and at the wooden bridge I will stand and feel your arms around me and smile
Then my steps will bring me home where I shall wait for
the flower of my heart.
