Finding Another You

That empty space left in my heart

 

Staring me down each day

 

Every second cutting deeper

 

My soul slowly fading

 

Since the day you walked away

 

Endlessly searching for the one

 

Who fits in my arms

 

As perfectly as you did

 

Caramel colored hair, caressing

 

Petite shoulders that create perfectly

 

A beautiful frame in which sat

 

The face of an angel

 

Who broke down weathered walls

 

With a brightly lit smile

 

An eloquent touch, strong and delicate

 

That washed my wounds clean

 

Her kiss

 

So soft and sensual

 

A blissfully sweet waterfall

 

Warming a cold heart once shut from the world

 

Not a day, passing by ever so slowly

 

Will that image escape my mind

 

Countless girls pass me by on the street

 

And each time I look away

 

Fearful of seeing you in their eyes

 

As if I'm trying to place Cinderella's slipper

 

On someone else' foot

 

Already knowing the face of who it belongs to
