the last smile...

I've been waiting for a long time
to see your face again
to hear your voice calling out my name
to hold your hand as you fall asleep
to smell the sweetness in your hair
to walk on the beach with you by my side

so why aren't you back yet?
with all these reasons
it shouldn't be so hard
to find your way back home

i remember every moment
that i spent by your side
i lost myself when i lost you
its no wonder that i cried
but now i know that you wont return
the walls have closed, its time to move on
my past shall be forgotten
as the journey goes on

taking me through depths of despair
my shallow heart yearns for more
as i face the bitter bitter truth
that there's no getting over you
I see your face, I see your eyes
they watch me as the days go by
breathing through this rending pain
I wait for your smile to wither away...
