"After You Left"

I stare perplexed down the hallway 
Where she once stood, she's gone now
And everything good has ceased

I sit in the chair where she gazed
At me with her comforting smile, it's 
Been a while, though it was yesterday

I lean over the rail she perched at
Pretending to look down through her
Breathtaking eyes that beckoned I

I am still spellbound, not yet unwound
I'm no doubt in-love with the purest
Attraction, no lust

As the sun now sets without suprise
I close my eyes because the sun shall
never rise again unless I'm back in
Her presence

Could this be a cause so lost that 
Desolation is the norm? or is this
How the flowers wait for storms in the
Spring?

Whatever the case,I'm now in the 
Hands of fate waiting for the sun,
Waiting in the hallway lonely
