She Went Away

Last night I walked to your door We talked then kissed good night I had no way of knowing That our end was in sight The next morning when I woke up I called you on the phone Your mother said, I’m sorry My daughter has left home I stood there with the telephone Clutched tightly in my hand I felt like a king Who had just last his land I asked her mother Where did she go Her mother went silent As she softly said, I don’t know So now I spend my days and nights Hoping for her return Inside I have this feeling All my waiting will be in vain I just like to talk with her Just to let her know That I hope she’s happy Wherever she may go 7-22-05/RHG
