I'M Still Looking For You

Days of wine and roses, 
Watching birds and running horses;
Gracing well with a toss of dime, 
I wish I could freeze the time. 

Swimming together in ocean deep, 
Hugging tight in our sleep;
Saving memories that we could keep,
but the test of time was steep. 

We parted ways, like a flash of light, 
you disappeared before my sight; 
I searched for you in shades of hues, 
in skies of gray and fields of blues. 

My heart had given a few spaces 
for company in lonesome places;
But no one takes your place, it's true, 
I am still looking for you. 

Should I grow old without your company, 
and if in search for you, I roam, 
I'll keep with me your memory,
for you will always be my home. 

*in memory of the one*
