Just As... (Part II)
Just as the sun cloaks its light,
I know that we are not right.

Just as the clouds darken the heavens above,
I know that I must suffocate my love.

Just as the lightening flashes across the sky,
I realize there is no you and I.

Just as the thunder shakes the ground,
I know I must forget what I found!

Just as the wind fiercely rushes by,
I know that I must say goodbye.

Just as the birds’ melody falls silent,
I know our dying is imminent.

Just as the sky fades to black,
I know I cannot get you back.

Just as the rain begins to pour,
I know that I will touch you no more.

Just as my heart starts to whither,
I still ache for us to be together.

Just as my body starts to shiver,
Your warmth, I know I’ll feel never.

Just as my hand reaches out to you,
I see that you’re no longer in view.

Just as my eyes vainly search the dark,
I know they’ll never find their mark.

Just as my ears strain for your whisper,
My feelings for you, they stir.

Just as your kiss lingers on my lips,
I know my hold on you slips.

Just as my mouth releases a sigh,
I cannot help but wonder why.

Just as the dead leaves rustle about my feet,
My soul, it feels so incomplete.

Just as I finally turn around,
My weeping, the only sound,

I beg for the heaviness to lift
And to set my weary heart adrift.

So another will find and cherish
That which would otherwise perish.
