Pathways of The Heart

Life is so many different things and many different paths
Yet through all the wanderings I can clearly see at last  
It was always you  
The mystic song of my heart's sea  
No matter the distance in time or miles  
Who always beckoned me  
  
Headstrong youth and older pride  
Never erased the mark  
Lost in all life's goings on  
You made upon my heart  
   
If only life could somehow return    
To former foolish choices  
Or grant that paths cross once more  
To hear again your voice  
   
I wish I knew how to put into words  
The feelings my heart has carried  
In my wanderings  
For all that was  
And all I have imagined  
   
For I have missed you so  
Who still touch my soul  
Whenever I'm alone  
   
I miss you  
In the quiet moments  
With whispered memories  
When all else fades except the truth  
Of time not shared with you  
 
And the longing for your touch  
   
Why does my heart still need you so    
Because you were everything  
(And how could I not see)  
And today's a quiet day  
 
Alone  
   
And I miss you  
   
Still
