Lost in the Pines

There's a shadow cast upon my heart

Since the day we roamed those forest trails apart

Echoes of your bark still linger near

In the campfire's glow, I wipe away a tear

The nights grow cold without you by my side

In every rustling leaf, I think I hear you stride

We could have had it all

Running through the pines

You had my heart inside your paws

But now I'm left behind

Tents and empty bowls, reminders of your play

I search the open fields where we used to stray

Whistles in the wind, but no familiar face

Our campsite's now a lonely, silent place

The dawn breaks through, yet still no sign of you

In every chirping bird, I hope to find a clue

We could have had it all

Chasing butterflies

You had my heart inside your paws

Now lost beneath the skies

Throw my voice through every open door

Countless calls, but echoes are my only score

Turn my sorrow into hopeful dreams

That you'll return to me across the streams

We could have had it all

Exploring nature's land

You had my heart inside your paws

Now footprints in the sand

We could have had it all

But now I'm left to stand

With memories of a faithful friend

Lost in the great expanse
