I came to our secret place today

To sit and while the hours away,

I thought of you fondly as I lay on the ground

And saw there wasn’t another soul to be found,

I thought and I dreamt as I looked to the sky

Wondering if the sun is what’s making me cry,

I stayed in the grass and the dirt of the place

Picturing the last time I saw your sweet face,

I listened to the wind and the bird’s solemn song

The short time that you’ve been gone is too long,

I rest in that field until day turns to night

And wait ‘til the constellations are in sight,

I stare and I weep realizing the cost

More than just you and your love that I lost,

Without you the sun shone with less of a shimmer

And the deep blue of the night felt slightly dimmer,

Even the sky full of stars seemed dead and cold

A place once so magical now hurt to behold.
