With eyes closed shut
I revisit the halls
Of distant memory
I am back
In a place I had forgotten
Each corner the same
Every picture hanging on the wall
Just as I had left it
I eavesdrop
On a forgotten conversation
And remember
How it used to be
Back there
Back then
A face
I now see clearly
A heart
Knit to my own
A soul
I hold in my hands
As it vanishes
My heart aches
With the realization
Of the time
The space
The priorities
That now seperates us
You feel farther away
Than I had pretended
The emptiness
I had all but forgotten
Until I closed my eyes
And found you
Waiting for me
In those halls of memory
Just where I had left you.
