Analysis of Empty House



I sit alone in an empty house
and all i can think about is you.
I miss your voice and seeing you smile,
Could i be falling for you, is it true?

I close my eyes and I see your face,
It makes me smile and miss you more.
A soft, gentle touch from you to me,
That makes me wish it to last forever more.
