Echoes
I thought you were gone,
My dear friend
Until I heard a sound.
Which was peculiar, I must admit,
Since no one was around.
I followed the noise where it took me.
It led me down a path.
I listened to your shouts,
Your singing,
And your beautiful laugh.
I called out to you,
But an answer did not come.
"I know you're hiding somewhere.
Let's go and have some fun."
Many times, I tried
But still no answer I found.
Disappointed, I left,
My broken heart homebound.
I know you are out there.
Somewhere very far away.
When are you coming back?
I don't want you to stay.
I admit to myself that you are gone,
Since you were impossible to find.
And all those sounds I heard
Were just echoes in my mind.
