We once had a lush garden,

flowers don’t grow there anymore.

Once pink carnations and roses,

now only grass and weeds grow tall.

The sun was once warm on my skin,

only cold rain falls today.

A beautiful sunrise smiled at me and,

the sunset took it away.

I see through the darkness,

sparkling jewels winking at me.

Daylight peeks at me once more,

I see my stars have been set free.

Taking a deep breath

in some cool midnight air,

I heard a sound, I turned around,

hoping you would be standing there.

The ghost of friendships past,

offered her hand to me.

I grasped it oh so tightly 

and begged her to set you free.

She whispered your sweet name,

and bid me follow her.

She gave me a brand new garden,

perfect pink petals were everywhere.

I looked for you one day and

you had pushed me away.

I won’t wait here forever,

I'll wait forever and a day.
