Where Is He - Mystic
Breathless, I whisper his name
Where is he? He hasn’t been around
I know he is more than an old flame
My love for him continues to abound
There are days when I can’t smile
Worry fills my mind with fright
Sometimes I think I’m nearly senile
Where, oh where is my shining knight?
Nights are the worst with my fear
Overwhelming my thoughts, my dreams
Has it been only days or maybe a year?
So long since I’ve seen his face it seems
Tears stain my pillow as I continue to grieve
Has he found another? How can it be?
So long now – many days - since I saw him leave
Dear Lord, do you think he could have gone to sea?
Weeks passed and my thoughts were dreary
How many days before I’d finally see him?
All the possibilities – I sure had my theory
Thoughts haunted me and I felt so very grim
Time left me feeling like I was lost
It was so true – I was assuredly beguiled
Finally, in time, my threshold he crossed
With my hand on my heart, we reconciled
