The Thought of Missing You

As I walk with an air of sadness
Down the stone cobble paths I've walked before
Only now, as I am alone, in the moonlight
Without your tender hand for warmth

Something new has begun today
Although I can't seem to recall the word
This feeling my heart when you're not with me
I know our love's sparked embers in the earth

How come I can still call to mind your lips on my own
Why do I feel as though a piece of me is missing
Its as though you are right here beside me, guiding me  
Even though I know...those times have passed

Gorgeous, yet writhing in its sad emotions. A deeply touching end. Great job and nice to meet you, Emily!
