SINCE I LEFT

Since I Left…

Since I left I have been in some sort of a trance

Without you my life has stood somewhat still

Almost as if my still waters have been unjustly stirred

I ache for you, yet somehow I still feel your presence

All around me…within me.

Since I left I have been finding myself through a long journey

A journey to find you yet I know exactly where you are

Like an addicted drug user I seek to find your high again

Yet somehow I am afraid to find a replacement of you

For that would mean I would have to forget you.

Since I left I have been wondering how you are now

Wondering how your nights feel without your sheets rumpled

Do you still enjoy the stars or have their colors begun to change

Somehow the nights are slower now, while my honey lays untapped

Trying to bury myself in emotion only confuses me.

Since I left I have been wondering whether or not I miss you

Here I realize that I love missing you from a safer distance

So I bid thee farewell my love, whom I will always hold dear

I ask that you miss me with that longing like a somewhat gentle tug

Let not our memories be a sword to the soul.
