A party; tea for two.

You’re invited to tea

But you don’t have to come

I hope that you do because

I will fill up your cup

I don’t expect you

to fill mine too

Because I’ve got enough

Tea for two

Plenty for me;

Enough for you.

If you can just listen

If you’re kind when you speak;

If you can be gentle,

If you know how to be weak.

If you can accept

Who I really am;

I will sit here

And hold your hand.

Maybe you’ll just visit once,

Maybe you’ll see me twice.

Maybe after a few years

Ill again cross your mind.

Trust me, my friend,

You will cross mine,

And we will cross that bridge in due time;

Maybe in the morning,

Maybe tonight.

Maybe toward the ends our lives.

And I am sorry;

For if I leave you behind

But sometimes paths

Do not stay aligned.

Maybe they cross

Maybe they connect

Maybe they are

Just a couple of steps.

But I’ll hold your hand

Until it’s time to let go

And I’ll trust my heart

So that I will know

When the time is right

To tell you goodbye

And let go of your hand;

And it’s ok to cry,

But

I hope that you will

Understand.

I still love you,

You are a part of me,

But sometimes we

Really have to leave.

To become who we are

Meant to be.

To become the people

Our own selves need.

To be our own island-

To be our own sea.

To know what it means

To really be free.
