It's been a while since in this place
I've looked upon thy smiling face 
No snatched hello or sad good-bye
No longing look from corner eye

This void around me seems quite cold
I sit alone, no hand to hold
Words not passed, as we can't talk
With sights unseen on untrod walk

No buried head in silken nape
No holding close your tempting shape 
Sometimes your voice is all I hear
A sound that echoes "You", so clear

But most of all, I'd say I miss
Your roguish smile and gentle kiss
To stop this loss I deeply feel 
What can I do?  Right now - just deal.
