When shadows stretch across the evening sky,
And whispers of your laughter haunt the air,
I find my heart in silence deeply sigh,
For in your absence lies a heavy care.

Each moment drags, like tides that cease to flow,
The clock’s cruel hand does mock my aching heart,
With every breath I take, I feel the throe,
Of love’s sweet bond now severed far apart.

Yet still within this hollow space you dwell,
A specter clad in dreams of days gone by..
Your name a soft enchantment like a spell,
That lingers on my lips and makes me cry.

Though distance stretches
wide and time moves slow..
