Looking For You

It is a white-hot summer day The sky is a clear bright blue I get out of the car and walk to the water I'm going to look for you I cut through the water, diving deep For me, this is nothing new I will not find what I am looking for I'm going to look for you I climb up to the tallest branch This won't give me a clue But you led me here, so here I'll go I'm going to look for you I climb up to the bell tower The place where, off you flew Even though I know that you're not here I'm going to look for you I sit in your closet With clothes that you've outgrew Even though the rope is still here I'm going to look for you I sit at the funeral, not saying a word Your pale skin almost see-through Even though I don't want to admit you've left me I think that I've found you

Sounds to me, you need look no farther than in your heart, Avery. Very sad!
