Secret Places

Secret Places

Sitting Alone
On a blanket made for two
Beneath the pines
That empty place is saved for you

I stare up
Into that canopy of green
Memories engulf me
You lying there was the most beautiful thing I have seen

Do you remember this place
Where we loved and held each other near
Our bodies twisted as one,
Do you remember all the quiet moments we had together here?

I find myself on trails
Wandering to and fro
I always wind up in places
Only you and I know

In a place they call Falk
As I walk where we would dream
My hands are missing yours and are empty now
Only our coyote friend is witness as I scream

I wonder when you close your eyes
Can you picture us here
Do you remember us as we were
When you often said I love you dear

You see my love all these special places
They should be filled by two
Each isn't nearly as beautiful
Without me and you
