THE LONELY WOODS


In the lonely woods,
Memories stir like the wind in the trees.
Lost in the shadows, 
I find you,
With your gentle smile and kind eyes.


In the lonely woods,
Your memory stays with me.
Even when the night is dark,
Your love is a guiding light.

In the lonely woods,
Beneath the whispering trees,
Memories drift like leaves on the wind.
I follow their trail,
Through the shadows,
Till I reach the place
Where your smile still lingers.

In the lonely woods,
Your memory fills the space
That your absence left behind.
In the cold of night,
Your love warms me
Like the firelight that once danced
In your eyes.

In the lonely woods 
I stay all day 
Hoping that someday
You would say hey.
As time chisels away 
You never left my face 

In the lonely woods
 the light began to fade 
Like a spade 
Pierced to the heart 
Unbearable it became 
Till the lonely woods became 
Our resting place.
