No Time Without You

I walked the barren fields of ragged stone...

In search of answers to the mystery of my desire

No stone turned to reveal a simple clue

I roamed the deserted beaches only to see your name in the sand

...And the waves said nothing

Their hollow sound only reminded me that I was alone

... That you could not be with me

I searched the crowded malls

Among unfamiliar faces and I was not there in any couple's mind

Who could blame me for thinking

... Why not me?

I sat within my dwelling as the fire roared

Watching the embers die as my soul went with them

Holding you in my mind as I always do

Playing some song that perhaps you never heard

Drifting to sleep with your image

Each day begins as it ended

A search for love as it could be

Staring with desire

Never ending if it is real giving, if it is to last

And knowing that a least in my mind, I will spend

... No time without you
