Haven’t smiled since you vanished Without a trace Not a single clue Written on your face That we’d reached the ending Before I could say The truth I’d been carrying Day after day That I am madly in love More than words can convey After endless nights of darkness You arrived like day When storms tossed me to and fro You were shelter when I had nowhere to go Now my heart is weathered Tough as cured leather Blazing in the Texas heat Slowly missing her beat Gone with the wind Surely this isn’t the end As certain as morning comes You’ll return before all is done They always do Now “they” includes you, too Clearing the path For something that lasts Something that will be mine For a lifetime
