You went away without a trace <br />If I could only again see your face <br />Looked for you at every corner <br />Grieved for you just like a mourner <br />I saw you in the stars up above <br />Twinkling in the sky, just like my love <br />Saw you in the waves over a stormy sea <br />Sitting alone under the weeping willow tree <br />Fleeting thoughts of you always came to mind <br />Searching for a jewel that's so hard to find <br />Walking down a dark and lonely narrow street <br />Saw some faceless strangers that I happen to meet <br />You went away without a trace <br />The fear of never having to see you once again <br />Bought a ticket and got on the morning train <br />I went to visit a place where we always met <br />A special place we shared I could never forget <br />You went away without a trace <br />It finally came to a stop that was my destination <br />I began to feel a tingling and a sweet sensation <br />A warm and tender feeling raced up and down my spine <br />You ran towards my open arms and was forever mine<br /><br />Patricia Grantham<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/without-a-trace-12/
