Mindlessly I sit and stare,
Upon the roses of despair;
Wishing for one more night to share,
Just you and I, together, a pair.

We loved with all our hearts content,
Of that I know and don’t repent.
For loving you is all I know,
And that I can’t and won’t ever let go.

But now you’re gone I cannot see,
Past the waves that crashed on thee.
You’re lost in seas of depths unknown,
No-one now can bring you home.

Soft tears trickle down my cheek,
As I lye in bed another week.
Like a fountain they continue to flow,
As a gentle reminder that lovers go.

The distant tree with colours bright,
Gives me hope that you’re in the light;
Waiting for me on the other side,
Once again above the tide.

On the table sits one plate,
But for now we both just sit and wait;
Until again we’ll be eating a dinner for two,
Together at last, just me and you.
