Inside the pages of our memory
You sat against the hollow tree
Waiting as the leaves fell like pages turned
With every word tucked behind a door
Of a moment we once lost

Your eyes following the journey of the skies
As the birds danced to a song we once knew
I see you like words piercing through my mind
The story that never leaves
Even with the last period drawn

The rain falls like droplets of tears
And the wind sings a song
A sweet melody of the hollow tree
Telling of a story we once held dear
Penned inside the pages of our memory

You sat against the hollow tree
Inside the pages of our memory
And try to listen to the beat of a pumping vessel
Waiting
Just waiting
