I hear your footsteps
On the ground
I pause and then
I turn around
But there’s no
One standing there
And I think
That’s so unfair
I hear your voice
Whispering in my ear
But the moment after I smile
The sound disappears
And I’m left
Feeling lonely
Because I don’t want
You to leave me
So, I try to ease my pain
Remembering that our love is strong
It will hold us until we’re back together
And that won’t be long
*
I hold onto my memories
I hold them very tight
Pull them all around
To get me through the night
And every now
And then
I’ll dream I’m back
In your arms again
Sometimes I have doubts
But I know in my heart
You will never leave me
You will never depart
And I’m left
Feeling stronger
Cause I don’t have to
Worry any longer
So, I’m able to ease my pain
Remembering that our love is strong
It will hold us until we’re back together
And that won’t be long.
*
At times it seems
I’ll never get there
A moment longer
Is more than I can bear
But with every
Breath it takes me
A bit closer
To our eternity
But for right now
I must stay here
Enduring until
I can disappear
So, I try to ease my pain
Remembering that our love is strong
It will hold us until we’re back together
And that won’t be long.
No that won’t be long…

This is very clean and well put together. It has a nice reoccurring set of phrases which lock my understanding and carries me as I read it. Very nice style. Thank you for sharing this, and welcome to the Den, Nia Imani. Have a great stay, here. Enjoy!
