Misplaced Melody

In the quiet of the evening,
when shadows start to play,
I find myself still searching
for the love that slipped away.

Oh, my love, where have you gone?
Just like my keys, misplaced so long,
I search for you in every room,
In every corner, through the gloom.

My glasses lost, my heart now blind,
In memories, I try to find,
Your gentle touch, your warm embrace,
But you're a ghost, an empty space.

Oh, my darling, I keep losing,
All the things that once felt right,
My heart is aching, ever choosing,
To seek you in the darkest night.

The days are long, the nights so cold,
Without your hand for me to hold,
I call your name, a whispered plea,
But silence is my company.

I see your smile in photographs,
I hear your voice in echoes past,
But like my keys, you’ve slipped away,
In dreams, you’re here, but cannot stay.

I've lost my way, I can't pretend,
That I don't need you, my dear friend,
In every moment, thought, and breath,
I'm searching for the love I left.

So I'll keep searching, through the years,
For all I've lost, through all my tears,
A love that echoes through my song,
Forever missing, since you’ve gone.

A love that echoes through my song,
Forever missing, since you’ve gone.
