I took a walk in the woods today,
I thought of you along the way.

I missed your voice and your smile,
I missed you more with every mile.

I tried to think of other things,
Even for a song to sing.

But every thought returned to you,
And how I missed the things we’d do.

So I gave in to the simple thought,
That you were with me on my walk.

I told you about that thing last week,
And how I missed you when I sleep.

I asked if you saw the morning fog,
Or if you knew about the dog.

I knew just what you would reply,
I began to laugh, and then to cry.

These talks I have each day with you,
Will be enough to see me through.

I took a walk in the woods today,
And you were with me all the way.
