It took for you to leave me
To learn about myself, anew.
I glance over towards your chair, like I'm going to speak to you.
Of course, I don't, you are not there.
All there is, is that empty chair.
But, then I found, each time I looked that way,
On my mouth, a smile would play.
I never knew I did this.
It happened just by chance.
How lucky just a word with you, would cause a smile to dance.
I hope you saw, I hope you knew,
That smile, each time, I spoke to you.
