Where Have You Been Absent Poem by Dennis Go

Where have you been absent?
I searched for you all these years.
The winding road that leads me nowhere
Devised its way to bring back still
The love for once I've never known
And feelings once shattered, heartlessly torn.

Distant dreams for once I've known...
Dreaming life away. Dreaming life somehow.
I could never live on without you.
Though winds be still and music's mute,
Voices echo at the dawn of my youth
Hopelessly waiting for you still -
The friendship I long to remember,
The love for once, I've never known.
