Been So Long

Been so long, since you were gone

I thought I could move on

But every night, I lie awake

Wondering if it's a mistake


 It's been weeks, it's been months

And still I feel the punch

Of you leaving, of you walking

Of you talking and me not talking


The time goes by, so slow and still

I can't help but feel the chill

Of the memories, they flood my mind

Of all the nights, we left behind


I try to find solace in other things

But my heart still badly stings

For the love that once was strong

That's been gone for way too long


So now I sit, and write this rhyme

Hoping that with each new line

I can let go of what's been lost

And find a way to bear the cost


Of moving on from what's been done

And starting new with the rising sun

For though it's been so long since you've been here

I still have so much left to fear.
