The darker side

The hills are heavy with mist and
the contours of the lake almost
fade into mere nothingness as
I walk past.

These evening strolls of mine
always make me feel a bit blue,
tonight is no exeption.

I thought of you and how your
soft lips used to linger on mine
the smell of your shirt and how your
glowing eyes use to light up
dark nights such as these.

But tonight you aren't here
I haven't lost you, but the loneliness
echoes inside of me,
reminding me of having to
spend yet another dark night

alone.
