By Your Side
I fumble with the keys and unlock the door
About to call your name but you wonโt answer
Hanging on the wall is your coat where you left it
I reach out; feel the softness, holding it close
On the walls are your pictures
Our wedding day, all dressed in white
Joyous anniversary, smile so bright
Eyes so blue reflecting happiness
In the living room where we sat
And made love on cool summer nights
Huddling by the fire on cold winter days
Our refuge together with our books and dreams
I walk through the empty rooms
Shadows move in dusty corners
Your voice and scent lingers still
Haunting me with every step and turn I make
I open our bedroom door and enter
Our bed empty, stripped bare
Your wardrobe full of dresses
My favourite hanging on the door
I open drawers, feeling satin and lace
