hey you,
as time drifts by,
with every breath and every sigh,
do you miss the days we both knew,
when love was fresh and skies were blue?

hey you,
as the sun sets low,
in the twilight’s gentle glow,
do my eyes haunt your mind,
a vision of a love confined?

hey you,
in the still of night,
when shadows stretch and stars ignite,
do you see me in your dreams,
a ghost of past, or so it seems?

hey you,
when passion flames,
in another’s arms and you call my name,
when you’re inside her so clear and true,
do you feel me come haunting you?

hey you,
in your waking hours,
when daydreams bloom like unseen flowers,
do I whisper in your ear,
the love we lost and the memories dear?

hey you,
in crowded streets,
in strangers’ faces with our hearts beat,
do you catch a fleeting glance,
of a love that had its chance?

hey you,
when the day is done,
and the sky is painted by the setting sun,
do you see my face in hues of red,
a love that’s gone but never dead?

hey you,
though we’re worlds apart,
do I linger in your heart?
a specter of what used to be,
forever in your reverie…
