Patterns

I look for you and the tracks you made
The indentions in the ground
Your prints in the snow

The way you looked
The way you laughed
Even how you grumbled
When you tried to clear the path

Your presence was like the stars
And I always looked to you
To find my way again

This was your pattern
The day to day wanderings
My watching for you
And making sure you were there
Your patterns etching into my soul

But now you've gone far away
The patterns seem to be fading
And fear rises on my heart's horizon
I think I'm losing my way

How can I go on like this
What direction should I go?
The tracks are diminishing
The indentions sinking
The prints being blown away

If there is a way you can be here again
Show me new patterns
Leave your marks on my path

I'll look for you and the tracks you'll make
The indentions in the ground
Your prints in the snow
