Distant Echoes

All around the quiet evening
Fleeting glimpses, memories stir
Lovely memories soft as rain
Bring her to this place again
Sweetest memories lure her there
Distant echoes of despair

As she wanders going nowhere
Longing pulses through her veins
For a lover long since taken
Gentle breezes now awaken
Tattered remnants long since hidden
To her heart now come unbidden

Walking slowly through the twilight
Humming softly some sad tune

Missing, still, loves sweet embrace
Gentle lips once hers to taste
Knowing that this longing aching
Remnants of a heart still breaking
