The evening light

The evening light upon the old walls creeping,
Just as it was when I belonged to you.
You are not here, but still my mem'ry's keeping
The precious gifts fate rendered all untrue.

I still can feel your tender, warm embracing,
Your gentle laugh, the words you used to say.
My hopeful heart, the miracle was chasing,
The clearest rhymes, the sky of that past day.

Your letters turn to yellow, slowly fading,
The calendar has paled, the passion's cold.
Your words have lost their purpose and their meaning,
But as a jewel in amber, them I hold.

I know there's no returning to that evening,
So simple, and so easy, and so bright.
And maybe I should finally stop believing
And let you disappear into the night.

The evening light upon the old walls creeping,
Just like it did when you were here with me.
You are not here, a lonely silence seeping,
And all that was... it matters just to me.
