I wish you were still here



I never wanted to say goodbye,

I never planned on it.
You suddenly came into my life,
easily giving my life goals and meaning.
But as quickly as you came in
you left just the same.

You left without a goodbye.
Here one day,
gone the next.
You came into my life with promises,
heading toward bigger things.
But now you're gone,
as if none of that mattered.

We had no plans of saying goodbye.
There were always plans

for tomorrow,
always a reason to try harder

for tomorrow,
We were making memories together,
always having fun and smiling,

even as it got tough.
But now there are no more memories to make,
and now it's gotten even tougher.

When you left,
I couldn't believe it.
I devoted so much to you,
I gave you all I had.
I did my best,

all for you,
because you were

all I had.

When you left me,
I had nothing.
You helped define me.

You broadened my horizons.

Without you,
what am I?
The answer is simple,
I am nothing.

Ever since you left,

there has been a gap in me.
A gap nothing but you will ever fill,
because nothing can replace you.
Only now I see

you were the love of my life,
but life took you away.

No matter how much time passes,
I will never be the same.
No matter how much time passes,
I can never become what I intended.
No matter how much time passes,
I will always have the concept of what should've been.

No matter how much time passes,
 

I will never have you again.

Everyday without you,
is another day filled with pain.
Everyday without you,
I suffer from the memories we made.
I miss you.
I want you back.
I never wanted to say goodbye.

I love you.
I love you so much that

I can never let go.
I love you so much that

I never thought we would say goodbye.
I love you so much,
so much that I still can't say goodbye.

You are still a big piece of me.
Still so important.
Still irreplaceable.
When I'm reminded of you,
I get quiet.
I get sad.

Everyday I wish you were still here with me.
I miss the way you felt,
and how you made me feel.
You said goodbye to me so long ago,
but I’m still here grieving.
Without you,
I don't know who I am.
All I know is that I'm still here,
and you're not with me,
and you're never coming back.

 

I will never have you again.
