I curled up and cried after you left me.
I knew you'd come back to me eventually.
But eventually wasn't enough.

I felt empty, I felt cold.
You had made your presence surround me,
You had cradled me in your love.

Your voice was so close,
Your laughter so warm.
Your happiness so real,
Your affection so sublime.

You must have known
That leaving me after being so close
For the first time in what my heart felt was forever,
Would tear me apart.

And I cried like I was mourning you.
I cried like I did after I walked away
And left you standing there.
I cried like I did when I believed I would never see you again.

Because you were gone, and I was alone.
And longing for you was slowly extinguishing my weak flame of life.

I cried out your name in the darkness,
I asked your phantom questions you'd never knew the answer to.
Maybe that's why there was never an answer
As I called for you again and again.

I laid there drowning in shadows that mocked me,
fighting thoughts that haunted me.

And I broke a little knowing it'd be hours.
And that when you came back it would be fleeing,
a soft whisper in the wind.
And then you'd be gone again for another day.
Leaving me to fend for myself.

I broke a little knowing,
That you would never really be truly mine
As long as all this water,
All this sky carved an ever growing rift between us.

And the shadows slowly consumed me,
The loneliness taking over my tired mind,
The pain making way to numbness, night fading into dawn.

You'll come back eventually.
But I've been crying since you left me.
