Timeless Pool of Memories

I look at your picture,
There is no response
When I touch your face.
Not like their once was,
Face darkened by the sun
A golfer's tan they'd say.
Eyes so blue and hair so dark,
Back then... we were young,
And love was in an hourglass
Waiting to be turned and started.

I loved you before then
I loved the breath and life in you
Oh where has that life gone now?
Please bring him back
I'll take the good and the bad
Just to touch his warm face again,
In the sun... in my hands.
Your voice is silent to me now
Your heart no longer beats,
Every breath isn't of me.
Passion has fallen at my feet...
In a puddled ring of emotions
Another timeless pool of memories
I must let you go as you have let go of life
Someday I will not cry when I look
At the images of yesterday
When you smiled just for me

Where has your love gone...?
Where is my hope...?
The smiles invested in tomorrow
Dreams of farms and fields...
Alone I have them now
I have it all,
But you...
Now.
