With promise she will soon return, long shadows cast their doubts.
Rememberance of her touch still burns its' fire not yet put out.
while smouldering these embers now reflect a passing flame,
long shadows form a darkening cloud, I cry aloud, her name.

Were not the bonds between we two sufficient to withstand,
the passing of the seasons through, long shadows now command,
my mornings and my after-noons, where once recieved your kiss.
I fear the longer you're away each day grows more like this.

Long shadows hold me in their arms, I shiver at their touch.
Though cold, they have a certain charm,I'm missing you that much.
A river cried of frozen tears cannot my loss reclaim,
faint memory of Summer sun I tire of your games.

Long shadows gather 'round me now through Winter long to sleep
our love affair , shall we re-new, if promise you will keep?
Return to me brief Summers' warmth, long shadows to dispel,
I yearn to be released from this embrace of Winters' Hell.

This has a nice flow. Hope the remembrance of love and summer's warm caress can ward off those winter chills.

Doctor, aren't memories of love precious? Even if they're
lost love, we still have good memories, sometimes.
