It's a beautiful fall afternoon...the air is cool and crisp
I walk alone through the woods watching as the
clouds move so hauntingly slow...leaving their shadows
as they pass me by

As I walk along...deep in thoughts of you and me
I've come to the edge of a crystal clear pond
I look down at the reflections dancing on the water
wanting so much to see two standing there
but there is only me

There are times I grow so weary of this aching
Times I am not sure my heart can handle the loneliness
There is an emptiness that never leaves the heart
when the ones you love are so far apart
Do you know I am missing you

Kicking the dry leaves with the top of my shoes
Tears begin to roll slowly down my cheeks
I sigh deeply and slowly walk on

I listen for your foot steps behind me
I stop and wait...but you don't come
Then I think I hear the sound of your voice
it's soft tones touch the depths of my soul
but it's only the wind whistling through the trees

Suddenly the wind blows ...and the leaves swirl all
around my legs
The air is cold but yet I feel warmth in my heart
I can hear something....someone...it is a whisper
It tells me not to be sad that one day...someday
you'll be home and I won't have to be missing you
ever again
