I walk through this world alone,
a simple traveler on this long empty stretch of road.
At times, I can feel the coldness of life pass through me, piercing into my soul.
Finding myself wanting a companion, someone to love, someone I can hold.
Seeking to find the end, a place that I can call my home.
I find myself thinking of you, a once fellow traveler on this road of mine.
For a time we walked hand and hand, together, you and I.
You filled me with such hope, and a love that defied the laws of time.
I never thought for a moment that you would go, that I would hear you say goodbye.
I know I must be on my way,
but my strength has been drained, after being exposed to your unforeseen wrath.
The nights remind me that you are gone, and the pain is felt in each and every day.
Knowing I must continue along this unknown path...
I walk it alone,
Hoping that once again our paths will cross and my love for you, will still be known.
