Love by Strings

One thing i can say i miss
not only your embrace or kiss
not only your voice or eyes
not only your laugh or cries

i remember most of all
the thing that made me fall
those strings of your guitar
take me to a land afar

those feelings never seem to fade
i remember every time you played
it made me feel everything would be O.K.
a silent promise you didn't have to say

i would lose myself with the strings
lost in the words your voice sings
i remember how it made me feel
now those days seem so surreal

my heart would flutter with every soft stroke
my breath would catch with every word spoke
shivers throughout my entire body
every time you played your songs for me

now when i hear someone play
that's when my mind would stray
back to those days beneath the trees
the smell of the grass carried on the breeze

lounging under the sky in the sand
listing to my silent requests, guitar in hand
i never had to say what song to play
you always seemed to get to me that way

hitting every note with perfection
the quiver in your voice without detection
the low hum of each and every cord
made me feel so loved and adored

but now my love has gone so far away
and i sit and wonder, when is "our day"
you've played your strings for many more
and i know you've played for others before

but i wanted that to be between just us
our silent promise of loyalty and trust
because i love you even more now
but i know that seems so shallow

so now your gone and wont return
those lessons of love, from you i learned
because no matter how far away
with you my heart will always stay.
