Absence of You

Today was hell
Without you
I didn't look foward
To the little things
Because I knew
Even the little things
Wouldn't have you
I did my best
To keep myself busy
To keep my mind off you
But it made me so dizzy
I tried to distract myself
From the absence of you
But that's exactly what my mind
Kept wondering to

My birthday
It was the last time you were gone
But joy?
There was none
That was the day
I realized I love you
For how long?
I may never know
But I do know one thing
Everything is dull
With the absence of you

I don't ever again
Want to live a day
That doesn't have you
Because living without you
It isn't living
It's merely surviving
Until I can again
Be with you
Until I can again
Hear your voice,
Your laughter
Until I can again
See your beautiful face
Until I can again
Be happy
Until there is no more
Absence of you
