Many times I take this route
the one we used to walk,
when you were here beside me
to laugh with cry and talk.
The sun was aways shining
warm breezes touched our skin,
when you were here beside me
watching our love begin.
Barefooted now I wander
fond thoughts stored in each stride,
when you were here beside me
kissing the tears I cried.
I watch the sand make patterns
across the path I tread,
when you were here beside me
your hand stroking my head.
A voice within my heartbeat
tells me I must move on,
now you are not beside me
cannot believe you're gone..
