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.
