a sip of love



What is happening ,I just don't know
I feel so alone ,lost and cold

Do I miss you
Do you miss me
Is there anything left for me to believe

un touched love my empty cup of tea
your arms I've longed for you
To wrap around me

I still remember your fragrant smells
when you entered the room I could always tell

They always seemed to make me smile
And after you left''
They stayed with me a while

You were the light to my life's brilliant glow
everything I needed all that was unknown
you gave so freely to help me grow

My heart has weakened from the weight of time
As my last feelings of love have begun to unwind

so were have you gone the mate to my soul
I need you here by me when we grow old

I know you were happy and felt safe around me
all I have now is my warm cup of tea
and no one is left to share it with me

only emptyness to your brilliant views
the one thing I always loved about you
