Without You

╚════ ≪ °❈° ≫ ════╝

Has it always been like this?
Masking one's emotions? 
Have I always been through this?
Matching with the people's motions?

The place is as how I remembered it:
the room filled with chatter,
people acting as they see fit,
and us, standing by with our laughter.

Then something started to loom:
the atmosphere, tense,
crowds swarming the room,
My dismay growing more immense,

While you were nowhere to be found.

Oh, take me back when
I had nothing to fear,
Back when things were fair,
Back when you were still here.

We had always known
how this world works.
So, we never left each other alone,
laughing at its enigmatic force.

As long as I'm with you,
there's no need to ponder.
Serious mistakes were few,
and adventure is filled with wonder.

I'm not sure I quite understand
what this world is like without you.
So when you told me what you planned,
I said that I'll be fine without you.

And there the plane took you,
and I'll see where life takes me.
Distance isn't an issue,
since you'd call whenever I'm free.

But I still yearned for adventure,
and sought this world without you.
It was pure bliss to go and venture.
Maybe it wasn't so bad without you.

But this bliss turned into poison,
withering my sense of belonging.
Of all those I met, who can I lean on?
There's no one, even after bonding.

As the day gets darker, I wonder
if we didn't exchange our goodbyes,
would I still ever encounter
that bliss I had come to despise?

Oh, I miss those moments.
how we have one another's trust.
how we are each other's complement.
I miss the two of us.

Because there is no one
who I can open up to.
There is no one
who is like you.

Life was so much better then.
So please come back,
although I am aware
it is too much to ask.
