Love Poem: Where Did You Go

Where Did You Go

I searched all over this world for you
Where did you go
I trudged through the deepest snow
Where rivers don't flow
Where grass doesn't grow.
I sent your name on the wind as it blows
All I got was a hollow echo
Filled with memories long ago.
I climbed all seven steps of the rainbow
Pushed past all the lost souls --
The result all too painful.
And so I know --
You are not in this world, no. 
But this world's boundaries I cannot breach
This is all I can reach. 
I can't go that far
Across to where you are
Where sunlight dies, where stars don't shine
The only thing I can do 
Is to feel your heart in mine.
So let the pain remain
Because every throb it brings
Is to feel you again.
