i feel your absences like death
a need to move on but a lingering regret
lingering want
lingering desire
a lingering
a need to move on
want to move on
desire to be happy
to see you happy
to let you be happy
to tell you just how happy i am
or will be
i feel your absence
like a sudden shock
like denial of the end
like a shadow, always still there. never in reach
i feel your absence
i accept it almost
almost
i think maybe i could be ok
but then i feel it
and i wonder what if you weren't gone
you're gone. the final end
the death
not of you but of us
and i refuse to say farewell
i feel your absence
deep within me
and i mourn you, i mourn my loss i mourn that piece of me that you created, you reflected, you encouraged
may death do us part
yet we part regardless
and part we have and part you take and part you are
of me
i feel my absence
