ACHES [Wattys Winner 2015]

Should life be?

That flavour gripping my taste buds,

That smell holding definition of beauty in my conscience,

The love in those beautiful eyes playing browns in the gaze,

The hair redefining smooth lustre,

The skin showing warmth of the heart out,

The hold of your arms around,

The care and the kindness,

That smile which made my world lit,

I will never forget.

You asked me before leaving,

To try and be happy,

For you, for your soul,

To fall in love again.

But you have set definition of love for me.

Even when you are not with me,

Love for me is just you,

It is today and always will be.

I will always love you,

Even when you had to walk out,

Of the pain your body was in.

Even when you wanted me to live for both of us,

But baby, is it even possible?

Cause living for me is you,

Life for me is you,

And now when you are not,

Should life be?
