A glimpse of your smile, frozen in time
Tries to rip my heart from my chest
I think today I won’t cry, but I’m such a fool
Head still learning that heart knows best
I know you’re around to guide me
But then I continually find
All the work that I’ve done seems to fall rung by rung
From the ladder I climb in my mind
On days like today as I crumble
I wish you were here to calm me
But your lessons are learned and your spirit is free
While my learning now walks with my lonely
In the stillness of introspection
Where we still talk face to face
The answers to a million questions
That are far away from this place
In the here and now I still look for you
Even though you were there and then
But our story continues because
I’ll make sure that it does
Until we’re together again
