How can I forget the day we met?
You sat there in the room.
Quietly watching the others.
Never saying a word.
I could sense the power you held.
So strong, so dominant, so alluring.
You spoke to me words of honesty.
How truth and friendship you stood for.
You told of your need to care for someone.
To be their Master... their friend.
I reached out to you that night.
You took my hand and pulled me close.
I listened intently on your teachings.
Believing in your every word.
You became my shelter in a stormy world.
You guided and protected me from peril.
Leading down life's path, sometimes rocky.
Always there to catch me when I stumbled.
Wiping my tears away when I was sad.
Smiling so bright as you looked into my eyes.
When did our oneness become two?
The invisable wall you began to build.
Silently without catching my eye.
The illusion you painted began to fade away.
There is no more warmth in your embrace.
Your words now of a more nobler trend.
Eluding all that I once held dear.
The romance you have chose to leave behind.
No more do you offer the sweetest kiss.
Though forever in my memory it remains.
Much more important is on your mind.
By your rules this game must be played.
What you gave, you now take away.
Life's bitter lessons much too real.
Still wanting to be my teacher.
Without love, can I still submit?
An acquaintance first born of respect.
Building into something so much more.
You realized the hidden dangers.
Putting an end to feelings of passion.
Thus your honor shall stay intact.
I look up to my Master, my friend.
As I sit here in the darkness thinking.
How can I forget the day we met?
