Where was your smile

when you were gazing

at the stars last night

Why did I not hear your voice

while I was lost

staring off into space

The years are long

but the days are short

I remember your face

and those looks

I got you to make

Never one to be shy

away from prying eyes

Always running away

from any sort of limelight

Search your mind for your heart

Are there any remains

of that old spark

I'm reaching for something

perhaps it's just for a false hope

but you have to believe in something?

Where was your smile

when I saw you last

Why did I not hear your voice

as I walked on past

Always rushing towards something

Dreaming as if it were nothing

Soft words might have been spoken

but not loud enough

for my soul to have woken
