I Will Live Again

 

I haven't lived since you left,
only marked time's weary passage,
and I haven't been whole,
having lost a vital part of me
in the swift current of life's ebbing tide.

The desolation of my life is a desert
strewn with the wreckage of empty hours,
dust thrown in the face of my expectations
and the cold, cold realization
that I am lost in this world without you.

Somewhere you're still looking
for the wanderer I have become.
Somewhere I might find you again,
and this long road I've traveled,
this eternity of solitude, will end.

Somewhere the caress of your eyes
lingers in the depths of my thoughts,
and the memory of your sweet smile
brings back hope I abandoned
such a long, long time ago.

Somewhere the sound of your voice
echoes in dreams that I hold close,
that lonely days and endless nights
will forever be forgotten,
and, one day, I will live again.
