The Spell

 

In just about every place, I see you.

Under skies of grey or of bright blue.

I see you beneath a star lit sky.

I can't forget you is the reason why.

 

I see you if the Sun shines bright.

And I see you when I dream at night.

I picture your face through the rain.

Each aching day, it's always the same.

 

There are places, I'm wary to go to.

As I recall the times, I went with you.

In an empty room, lonely and bare.

I close my eyes and I see you there.

 

And although I try, I can't look away.

So is this to be my future, day by day?

I'm under your spell, make no mistake.

But is it a spell, I even want to break?
