Hope

I see you walk with your head held high Your heart is breaking, but you don't even sigh Distancing yourself from all the painful memories Trying to build a new life and pick the pieces You tread the path path that was familiar to you Where you had once held hands with your love true Now all you see is desolation and your dream's ruins Even the rain fails to put out the inferno within You walk uphill to the temple, looking for peace to gather Remembering the same journey, your loved one and you took together Remembering his words of encouragement, when you were too tired to go on His warm embrace and calm eyes, egging you on But now despite the crowd, you feel alone Thinking of the good times long gone Nothing to fill the void you feel by your side You wish he was beside you, as your guide Deep in your heart you believe, not far is bliss He will take you in his arms and your lips he will kiss He will be there for you in your times of despair Comforting you and, with love, stroking your hair
