Like rain that comes accompanied
By a ray of sunshine

So do now my feelings for you
Come mixed with sorrow

Feelings of tender love
Of a heart that misses

And always fears the moment
Of the last adieu

As though it were really the last
When it is not

A heart split into two
Between the nest of love
And the love of nest

Between being with you
And being alone

Right now wrapped up
By sadness as I remember your smile

Like the ray of sunshine
Breaking in the midst of rain

Yoav J. Tenembaum
