Without Her

As the sun smiles down upon me.

I still look in the shadows.

My life surrounded by friends.

I still feel a yearning.

I am loved by another.

But my life is not my own.

At times I feel complete.

Then I see you.

I feel an emptiness.

I have all I ever wanted.

I see a place we talked about.

You cross my mind and I smile.

Then I remember others are around and I hide my thoughts.

I can’t, I won’t, I shouldn’t

Then I lay to sleep and you are there.
