AN ECHO OF YOU

AN ECHO OF YOU Your whisper is somewhere in my mind It’s as if you were still here, close to me Your subtle scent lingers on this pillow It takes me back to us both in Amarillo But since you’ve gone, it just cannot be Yet it’s a memory that I’ll seek and find An image I see, offering a familiar view Someone who I’ve loved, and now lost I still feel a touch of your skin on mine The taste of your lips is like sweet wine And I could never let it go, at any cost As for me, it is after all, an echo of you
