Searching For A Lost Love
If I hear a whisper in the wind, will it be you? Will the tears that I cry make the pain I feel, any easier to handle? I have fond memories of you, a longing for you. Will it be easier as time goes by? Have I the right to love you? Have you felt the pain I feel, when the sun goes down and I set in my lonely room, with no one there to hold me and make things right? When my heart is breaking, and I long to feel you close. To see your eye's, to smell the sweetness in your hair, as it brushes against my cheek. Have I the right to cherish the fond memories that so long ago we shared with each other?
Where pictures used to hang upon the walls, now only shadows dwell. The roses you once brought me, now faded and dry. The memories dwell within my heart, and I see you every waking hour. On days when the sun forgets to shine, the tears flow freely. My heart cries out to you, and I wonder if you hear me, in the shadows of your heart? Has time lost itself in those memories we once shared, or are they a thing of the past? Are they lost and never to be shared again? I wonder if those sweet days of love are gone forever, just a dream, something that came and touched my heart and left without a whisper?
I walk the lonely streets, longing to see you, to hear your voice amongst the crowd. Just a glimpse is all I desire, a glance in my direction, a smile. I pray for these memories to leave, but they come again and again. A certain smell, a word, a song that plays over and over on the radio. Somewhere in the crowd a familiar face. Where are you? Have you gone from me forever, will you return? Is my life to be a dark shadow, searching for the lightness I desire? I cry out in loneliness. "Where are you?" Hear my heart as it beats out your name. "I love you".
