Like so many times before
You come haunting my thoughts
Sweet images of you
My heart lovingly bought
And like a wave across my face
The smile that grows
I can’t hold back the feeling
Or the look of love that shows
I imagine your voice
Suddenly in my ears
The sweetest voice I’ve ever known
Almost drives me to tears
Words of tender love
Of how you’ve missed me
The memories of many years ago
Wishing so much more we could be
That look in your eyes
The touch of your hand on mine
And upon your lips
My lips there I find
But I know it’s just a fantasy
A daily occurrence
True love’s test of time
Of my heart’s endurance
And most would think of me
A man sad and lonely
But you’re my reason to smile
If only
