Once More
A chill in the breeze that brushes my soul
The smell of lavender as it tickles my nose
As a whisper in the trees calls out my name
Large boulders standing freely they burden no shame
I run to this place where once we stood
I find our tree, searching over the wood
My memory guiding me, fleeing my pain
For a blemish that once was our names
All hope hangs upon the sun, it makes no sense
Watching for something, some sort of glimpse
Haunted by memories of love true and deep
Praying you’ll answer, “Was I yours to keep?”
The night sky settles in and stars are aglow
I follow the trail searching for what I don’t know
The mountain air is bitter cold and clean
You may be here though you remain unseen
Are you with me in spirit and holding my hand?
As the moon fades away I look over the land
The storm rages in and the rain starts to pour
I cry out, “Just let me hold you once more.”
To you my Cowboy for all that remains
The tears I cry tonight are merely stains
I miss you and love you as always before
I hope you are waiting for me at Heaven's door.
