Missing Someone

Now where are you, my sweet love?
Far from me, past skies above..
Away, and yet still in my heart
Forlorn I am that we're apart.

I long to nestle 'neath your chin,
Where I fit perfectly therein..
That, you pronounced the day we met,
Our fit would be th'ideal duet.

The years have passed, and we grow old,
I'll ever want your hand to hold..
And still to see those same green eyes,
Set deep in lines tho much more wise.

You can't depart before I do,
No, no you can't, as we're not through..
You'd leave my life an empty hollow,
'Twould not be long before I'd follow.
