I look for you in images
I look for you in words
I see the pics of yesteryear
and read the lines of times gone by
But nothing I do
nothing I say
nothing I see or hear
will bring you back to me
I carry the memories
of long years long gone
of laughter, tears,
mirth or grief
But nothing I do
nothing I say
nothing I see
will bring you back to me
The trees whisper your name
The sea shimmers your memory
The sand whirls as your face
The stone stands immutable
But nothing I do
nothing I say
nothing I see
will bring you back to me
I'll turn away to face the future
that you prepared me for
and wipe away tears
from the long-gone past
Your memory will sustain me
your trust will support me
as I move forward
to meet what comes my way
