Song Playing:"Through the Eyes of Love"

I opened my eyes and saw
You were not there...
Where did you go
When I stopped looking?

A vision of you did not exist
For you were not there
And as I try again to reach for you
I despair...for you are not there

I opened my eyes
And what I saw is what got away
All our dreams of yesterday

And so I wept this day away
Remembering again
What could have been
For you and me today

Only if I had known the reasons why?
Why we could not touch or see?
And why we never experienced...
Our destiny?

I opened my eyes
And realized
What we had was what we were
And should be shared by us forevermore

Not an easy thing for us to do
Something you and I should do
And that's knowing me and you
We are something that needs attention too...

I opened my eyes today once more
And I saw you!
Realizing that you are a part of me too
And knowing now you opened my eyes

So I could see you

"For Ingrid...whose inspiration woke up again the writer in me and keeps the juices and tears flowing as always..."
