Passing In The Night

We passed in the night and you spoke not a word.
Your stare was so distant~your footsteps, unheard.
I saw you walk by~when I turned, you were gone.
Were you simply the vision I've had for so long?

We passed in the night and I know you were there.
I felt just a touch from the strands of your hair.
I walked down the path where you were long ago;
Now, surrounded by people I don't even know.

I find myself spending my days all alone,
to look for the one long ago, I had known.
If only that night wasn't part of my past;
I've learned that it's lonely when love doesn't last.

I came back again and I passed one last time;
Not finding the love I've been trying to find.
I'll remember you always within the moonlight,
though your love still keeps passing me by. . . in the night.
