Every morning I see your face,
And for that fleeting second I'm in a different place,
A place where we smiled, laughed, and talked,
A place where we could hold hands wherever we walked,
I'm reminded of this each and every day,
Then the sleep clears and it's all blown away.
Realization sets in and I'm all alone,
I quickly have to check my phone,
In case you've called or sent me a text,
Then it hits harder as what come next,
Is the empty screen with your smiling face,
And the emptiness of this forsaken place.
I wither up inside as all my hopes disappear,
And the burn in my heart really starts to sear,
I sink back in my bed and think of you,
And wonder if there's anything I can do,
I'm knocked back every time I try to get through,
And now the decision is up to you.
Leave me out here in the cold and the rain,
Leave me to choke on the tears and the pain,
Missing you every minute of every day,
Loving you more and more in my way,
One day, my love, this will all be like a dream,
I just hope we can dream it together in our place so serene.
