I walk through the woods
To where we once stood;
The winding narrow path
Which bore our footsteps..
The pine needles untouched
On your side of road
Your feet forlorn, since that day
We walked hand in hand..!

I stand by the river
The silence breaks my soul
The ripple of the water
The whisper of the wind
Smell of pine in the air
Birds singing without dare

I sit on the branch
-This time, alone..!
Thinking of the time
You hummed me your song...

This serenity is nostalgic
But I don't want to stay..
I remember, with you,
Desire to stay wouldn't sway...
Nothing has changed
But you are not here..
Without you by my side,
Nothing seems clear...!

'Tis a bittersweet love song - Nicely done, and welcome to Passions....

Nay, if our wits run the Wild-Goose chase, I am done:
For thou hast more of the Wild-Goose in one of thy wits,
Than I am sure I have in my whole five.
