The Phantom Couple

Fog is thick on this summer's night My only companion the lighthouse light Your empty absence I can no longer take Alone in this world I will surely break The beckoning ocean promises you again Only step closer and freely give in Confusion replaces the pain of my tears A shadowed phantom from the mist appears With a blink and a shake it is suddenly gone Hope guides me to the place it stood upon No remnants remain but two pairs in the sand Disappearing into the mist hand-in-hand I cover my face and fall to my knees Never alone, forever they watch over me
