Longing
The scent of her perfume lingers on,
He can still hear her laughter every time he opens his front door,
The smile that captivated him greets him still.
He made mistakes, he sits and regrets.
A life with her he cannot forget.
She is alive with him with every single heartbeat.
As long as the sun still shines and the birds will sing.
His love for her will never fade.
The memories of a distant time, fresh in his mind.
The tears, the laughter, the sorrow and the pain.
How could he have been so foolish to let her go
Not knowing that her ghost would haunt him so........
