What Once Was

How it was to be with you
Comes back to me sometimes
Like a breeze changing direction
And gently stroking my skin

Here one moment
And gone the next
I am left yearning
Is it for you, or for life?

When I close my eyes
I see the lines of your smile
Memory after memory
A kaleidoscope of moments

The colours are fading
And melting into my heart
What once was
Soothes my soul and my spirit

Your absence is quiet
Yet carved into the present
And everything that I do
It is who I am, now, and always changing

I will never let you go
