~Empty Hand~

I hadn't seen you in forever.
And I've forgotten your face.
Sun drenched happiness is my only memory;
as my heart takes the time to unlace.

I raise my hand at the auction.
And I count every lost penny.
Too bad the memories can't flood in.
Because, well... there's not very many.

And I can't help but feel my empty hand.
Can you guess what's running through it?
Same as with yours It's sand.
As my bitterest of tears seem to fall,
and hit hard when they land.

(for Andrew)
