I throw a pebble in the lake <br />And watch the circles disappear, <br />I see the sunshine rise and fall <br />And I wish that you were here. <br /> <br />I watch the amber glowing water <br />As the evening turns to gold, <br />On the bank I feel so lonely <br />For my dreams I cannot hold. <br /> <br />I never want to go back home <br />For the memories are too strong, <br />It is there that I'll remember <br />The life we shared there for so long. <br /> <br />So I'll stay here for the moment <br />Till it's time for me to go, <br />I will let the starlight guide me <br />And by morning I shall know. <br /> <br />As I listen to the silence <br />Thoughts are running through my head, <br />Trying to pass away the hours <br />I long to be with you instead.<br /><br />ANDREW BLAKEMORE<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/pebble-6/
