Maybe love is imagining your smile,

Waking up smiling without knowing why.

Maybe I’ve loved you for so long,

Only now I see that you are gone.

That’s what they say, we only see beauty when it’s lost,

But if I’ve lost you, tell me why

This chill in my chest won’t subside.

Two parts of a whole so far apart,

But still, somehow so complete.

Only fragments remain, a thread of hope,

Holding me, keeping me on my feet.

Every breath feels so insufficient,

To fill the void I feel inside.

It’s only been minutes since the goodbye,

But time feels endless, frozen in my mind.

That’s what they say, we only see beauty when it’s lost,

But if I’ve lost you, tell me why

This chill in my chest won’t subside.

Two parts of a whole so far apart,

But still, somehow so complete.

Only fragments remain, a thread of hope,

Holding me, keeping me on my feet.

And in the tear that falls,

Without my permission, your goodbye stayed.

No chance to scream how much I love you,

You took everything, but left what consumes me.

Two parts of a whole so far apart,

But still, somehow so complete.

Only fragments remain, a thread of hope,

Holding me, keeping me on my feet.

And so you left, without leaving an address,

For me to wrap my feelings in a poem to confess.

Everything I feel, everything that’s left,

Haunts me, but promises me rest.
