There in the distance I've seen a shadow of a girl I once knew who sung sweet lullabies and drifted along the moon until I could see barely a form, and she'd whisper softly to me calling my name out from the recesses of a time when I'd have done anything to be pulled in close, settled down against a strong shoulder and chest allowing warmth to over- come this tentative soul But dawn receded and I forget the light of her face There.
What a wonderful description of the heartache of lost love. The tone here was excellent, and the last few lines really got me. :) Lovely lovely job! :D
