Each day without you is a day filled without joy or has no purpose
I sit in silence thinking about you and the love we share.......
....these are times when I realise how much I miss you
Minutes alone seem like hours to me and time appears to stand still.
Though the sun may be shining brightly upon you with its golden hue
In my loneliness the sky remains dark and cloudy; ready to shed its tears
Perhaps nature also knows you are away and like me needs you back home
The imagined darkened sky waits for you to again open itself proudly to the sun.
Last night I searched the heavens vainly seeking you among the stars.......
....yet though I searched that darkened sky; no star shone as brightly as you
I felt like a sailor trying to a sail a ship without your star to steer her by
Sweetheart, the sky was simply dark and threatening; wearing its sombre cover.
As I sat among a deafening silence my thoughts kept wandering back to you
I could sense you beside me but could not hear or see your hidden beauty
How I longed to have you here to take you in my arms and hold you close
Orchid Lady when I am alone it is fitting you can't witness how much I miss you.
I wait for the telephone to ring heralding your wonderful voice of welcome
Yet even that modern piece of man-made wizardry remains hauntingly silent.......
....lying there in its cradle defiantly refusing to function by making a single beep
Sweetheart, I wish you would call as I want to tell you how much I love you.
To pass this time alone I try to read but you remain in my thoughts
Neither the radio or television programmes make any sense to me at all.......
....'though both their sounds and sights reach searchingly into my ears and eyes
Without you here the truth is; nothing feels the same and my life feels so empty.
My love, I know the one need of mine that is completely missing right now.......
....of course, it is YOU with your wonderful companionship and your own special charms
I freely admit without those smiles and love that radiate from your beating heart -
I find it so difficult to breathe the peaceful air that flows quite freely about me
Orchid Lady, I call out to you in my want until you return to light up my life once more
I will look for each sunset and wait for each dawn to cast its new day upon my needs.......
....from my present hours of abject loneliness and times of greatest want for you
Please hurry back to me and return my soul and dreams; as I am nothing without you.
