When I Lost You

“It's sad when someone you know becomes someone you knew.”

Its things the little things that you try to hold onto,

It’s the day I’ve died,

It’s the day life to me seemed nothing but a blur.

When I lost you and we weren’t one

But two strangers drifting on either side of this globe.

Awhile I thought how could my world go on,

I became this drifter, this lonely girl

Thinking why is this happening.

An excruciating pain swept over me

And hit me back to reality,

You were gone, gone from my life.

It’s the feeling of emptiness,

A soulless being that was me,

Wandering around, seeking answers

That I never was given, but all along

It stared me in the face,

That this was all my own doing,

That I was the one who did this.

I remembered your words, “ I am scared,

Scared that I’ll never be the one for you.

Scared that no matter what our feelings

For each other are that I will never

Get any kind of chance. I am scared that

You will one day realize that you

Didn’t love me, and you leave.

There’s so many things running through my head

To brace myself, I know that I love you,

I know a lot of things, but I don’t know

What is going to happen between us

And it scares me.”

They say that the grief you have for a former love

Will become your travelling companion.

It becomes a part of you,

A part of me.

That eventually peace will come,

When I accept the mysteries

That is apart of life.

That this part of veil will lift

Only then I will realize that the love

We share with others

Is what is most sacred?

Once that peace has come

I will know that this love was an eternal gift.
