I sense you with me in our garden
And once again, our love is new
Our roses vivid in the golden sun
As my broken heart remembers you
Their beauty fills my soul with tears
As now I tend them all alone
My mind joins hands with you in love
Recalling the scent of your sweet cologne
Misty waves of memory surround me
In this place filled with loneliness
So eager to know your love once more
In a trance-like state, I digress
Your spirit is with me as before
We dance to the music of the birds
Totally enraptured with each other
Our hearts communicate without words
From this sweet, surreal daydreaming
I must return to my solitary life
Where in reality, my heart recognizes
That I'm a widow instead of a wife
