Live without you
Forgetting you has become a distant fantasy
of mine
As likely as it would be to actually turn
back the hands of time
So I am learning to live with you always
in my mind
But never in my arms
I am getting used to remembering you in
everything I do
Seeing your face in my dreams
And then waking up to an empty space on
the left side of my bed
I am getting used to feeling lonely
And having no loving arms to hold me,
ever
I am learning to deal with this constant
aching
That lives in my heart during every waking
minute
And these tears that I shed at night
Have pretty much become a nightly ritual
Living without much brightness in my days
Has become a usual thing for me
Everything is working itself out okay
Because I am learning to live without
you
