when others have gone a lifetime
without knowing these joys that i have known?
who am i to feel this remorse,
when you are encompassed in endless song
and your future becomes the present
that you forever dreamed it would?
who am i to want your love
when it is given freely to all others
and i am the exception, only because
i have already known the splendors?
it is i who fell at your feet and wept
for the beauty we once created,
and it is i who now must smile
at the person i shall watch you become.
