Her mind goes back once again

The wish she'd held on tighter

Made him stay; made him see

.

She has learned he was in a shoebox

And maybe she could have lifted the lid

Now she resides there instead

.

He flew and she couldn't catch

Her aim wrong, his movement far

She should have stood under

.

He could have asked

Didn't he know he wasn't alone?

The only shadow cast is her own

.

Clocks move and branches break

Move to the branch below

But the whole tree was cut down

.

She can never stop searching

Her flashlight picks up nothing

Just the empty road ahead
