SOMEWHERE MY LOVE

GONE AWAY A YEAR

Where are you now my love?

Oh, oh I wonder, my love, where you are now?

though it’s no longer my business to know

what are you doing? how is it with you?

it seems so long, I still love you so

*

I put it all down, my love, to stop and think

memories like a wave, wave upon wave

my darling I never wanted you to go

my heart just aches for the love you gave

*

If  I had not been so foolish, so young

what wisdom that just one year can bring

the mistake I made now a bruise so tender

I dreamed last night you came to me darling

*

We sat and talked together, you held my hand

you brushed my hair and looked into my eyes

and asked me if I remembered you still

our warm cheeks met, my head fell on your shoulder

I said “I’m so sorry”

if I could have been that little bit older

*

For just these few moments I lay it all down

just sit, think about you, and trickle down tear

did it occur to you, as it occurred to me?

tomorrow, my darling, it will be just one year.

*
