Explanation of "Whisper"

Ok I see Whisper of the Word stumped a few people {J I see you got me..lol..as usual} so let me clarify where my head was...
This poem actually came at a time of a break-up and I couldn't explain why it had to happen so I compared it to Creation {Genesis 1}. A lot of people got it that light means good-serenity, peace, and all things happy and that dark means bad-evil, hell, and everything horrible and scary but when God created the world He had to separate the light from the dark so that He could get His creation under control {neither light nor dark meant ANYTHING, bad or good, but at that time could not coexist} so this is where I took my definition...ok back to the poem:
I was day and he was night and the beginning was the time that we co-existed and our break up was the separation of day and night. Now the definition of both day and night represents the process God is putting both of us through now that we're apart. The ending was kinda an imaginative image of when/if we get back together and then we'll realize why we went thorough all of this, what we were supposed to learn from the other relationships we got involved in, and what we're supposed to do differently. Then I guess we'll understand what the tears were for, what the fights were for, and why we brought other people into all our crap...
I guess in a way it was a way to escape the tears for a night but I read it over the other night and thought I should share...but sorry D for goin off into my "poetic realm" and leaving yall non-poets behind LOL LOL LOL...hope this helps you get it now.
