Au Revoir

I will search for you in crowds

Longing to meet your familiar gaze

To see your smile that ignites my own

An undying hope my heart will chase

On cold evenings, long beach walks

In city lights and passing cars

On lonely nights and windy roads

Whilst I see people wishing on stars

I’ll wonder each time how you’ve been 

Whether you’re happy, contented and fine 

On the days I’ve not heard you closely

Thinking if it’s too long since I called you mine

My chest feels so empty and weak

Tears have tucked in the creases of my eye

Thinking about the memories we made

Ones I’ll just reminisce as days pass by

I now find myself missing you

Long before you’re even gone

I’ve left a part of me to go with you 

So you will not be left alone 

Knowing there will exist a space 

Without you, very next to me

It gives me a weird heart ache

Pushing me where I never wanted to be 

So one last time, before you go 

Talk in a language we can’t speak

Cling to me and wrap me with your soul

So I find strength to be lonely and weak

I’ll keep this fond memory 

Retained in a very special place 

When I would just want to whine 

To feel in all the waves of sunshine 

Staring up deep into the Starlit sky

When I feel things I can no more say

Sending you all the love I have

In a whispered wish from far away
