reflections of a lost lover

There’s so much more I meant to say.
I would have told you I still care—
but none of that can change today.
you have already gone away.

Do you remember long ago
beneath the shade of that palm tree?
Your feet were buried in the sand—
that memory still lives inside of me.

I try to move on, meet someone new,
yet something always feels incomplete.
No one has taken the place of you;
my love for you is bittersweet.

I gave too much, I gave my trust,
and now I long for your warm touch.
I could still say I love you… but
there’s nothing left of us.
