Red-Headed Girlfriend

Red hair like fire in the autumn sun. She danced through my days,

now she's gone. She's gone. Her laughter still lingers in the

corners of my mind. Red-headed girlfriend, where did you go?

I'm standing here waiting, but I'll never know. You left like

the wind, like the tide pulled you in. Red-headed

girlfriend, I'm missing you again. Her

freckles mapped stars I couldn't trace. She carried the moonlight right in her face.

Now the nights feel longer, colder, misplaced.
