Sometimes I look towards the sky and wonder where you are.
Are you floating softly on a cloud? Are you sleeping on a star?

Sometimes I sit and watch the sea as the waves crash up and down.
Are you riding them with a joyful smile? Are you falling with a frown?

Sometimes I listen to the wind as it passes through the trees.
Are you speaking words that I can't hear so you gently shake the leaves?

Sometimes I simply close my eyes and see your lovely face.
Your body lying in my arms in our first and last embrace
