I have stopped wondering
What it is that lies behind me
No longer need
To turn around.
For every time I have
Turned to glance
I see that what stands before me
Has always been
The same.
The face, the love, within us both
Will I never
Be without.
It is beside me
Not behind me
Eyes to guide me
The eyes that remind me
We shall never drown.
And still
We rise.
