Walking Home

You walked me home
After the storm
Making sure I got there
Safe from harm

Surrounded by darkness
No light for my way
No stars in the sky
The moon hidden away

You held my hand
Though you were not here
Talking me onward
Your voice in my ear

Alone that late evening
But your presence was there
A light in the shadows
Removing all despair

You walked me home
The moon hidden away
Your voice in my ear
With me the whole way
