Every day I see your face,
Every day it’s the same.

A smile
a hello
maybe a flash
of skin on skin,
our arms lightly brushing
as we walk side by side...
but nothing more.

No more do our hands linger.

No more do our lips touch.

This new found sense
of being alone
is something that's hard to grasp.

Just a few days ago
we were together.

Now you go your way
and I go mine.

You say it's for the better
I try to believe it is...

But sometimes the dark side
gets a hold of my brain
and won't let go.

My thoughts are dark
when I look at your face.

I think that maybe
I will never be able
to kiss those lips again,
to hold your strong body
in my embrace.

I long for the remnants
of your scent to be
on my clothes at the
end of the day.

I long for the feel
of your soft lips to be
on mine at the
end of the kiss.

I long for the words
of your love to be
on my heart at the
end of our life together.

Our life together is no more.
