Memories of you
Come barging in like flood waters
Every day when I walk that lane,
One which I’ll never walk with you
Passing the trees that grow by the side
That change every season
How we used to wonder about them,
Now will never be the same, not without you
The brown leaves in autumn that magically
Covered the way like carpet for you
Will never be seen, only dead leaves
For the carpet was there, only for you
The branches that reached out
To cover you from the falling snow
Look all sad and cold,
Now that they will never see you
Your melodious laughter
That used to blend with the singing birds
Are now filled with silence
Like the times I call out to you
The flowers in the spring,
Those were colourful and full of life
Are now bleached and faded
Like me, they miss the presence of you
I remember fooling around in the summer
Under the shade of the trees
But now they’redark and held by ghosts of my soul,
For you aren’t here to be the light
All these memories will never come true
And this lane I’ll never walk with you
That which was lovely, now so dark and cold
These lanes, they miss the light
They miss you...
I miss you
