Here we meet again in our past
Where time had stood still
A heartache that never heals
Shouting silent prayers in the void
Seeking in the shadows and voices
An image, a song to get me going.
Polished shoes and junior chemistry class
Lessons taught best when not in school
Warm hands that had comforted me
Harsh words that still echo inside
Between then and now
I am losing a part of me
While I walk through the years without you.
Around the hearth,
We sat to relive your memories
Biding time to do its healing.
