Rambles


Going on without you

After all this time,
after all the tears and yearnings,
I realize I still love you.
I fear I will never be able to stop loving you.

All those who I met after you paled in comparison.
I never wanted any of them,
I wanted only you.
And now you tell me to build a life without you,
to forget about our dreams together.
The tears I shed every single night are only in your name.
I cannot get over missing you.

I miss the way you used to look at me and hold me,
I miss your voice and your everything.
Fate has a cruel way of tearing us apart.
Each day is a painstaking effort to pretend everything is fine,
the void you left behind swallowing me day by day.

I forgot the meaning of happiness and laughter,
only a numbing sadness lingering within me now,
my life dark and miserable.
I lost a lover and more importantly, my best friend.
For all these years, you were the only one I trusted,
the only person I confided in.

Where do I go from this?
I have no strength to start over anymore,
no reason for going on.
You were the sole beacon of light in my life,
the one whose presence I wanted forever in it.

Alas, today nothing remains,
I am slowly fading into nothingness,
willingly shrouding myself in despair.
My love for you will never wither.
