Just One

Because you loved me I relearned
the joy of being loved
and losing me in someone else
when two became as one.

And then I learned the pain that came
when love was not enough
and bled as we again were two
and I was left… just one.

Not merely one but less than that;
Some part of me is gone.
Lost in the pain or left with you—
I know I'm not the same.

Wiser now but not as strong,
I'm lost and hungry too.
I've tasted and remember love
And nothing less will do.

I felt the passion, touched the fire—
Love beckons every day.
No matter how I shield my eyes
That light won't go away.

I've seen that love is out there;
I reached and touched its flame!
And having felt it, know for sure
I can't go back again.

I can't go back to darkness,
I cannot leave the sun,
I cannot still the song I sang…

How can I live as one?
