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
