It would be easier 
    if you had said something to me. 
                        
Anything.

But it happened so fast.  
    You couldn’t. 
    I wouldn’t. 
    We didn’t.
Now I’ve lost you.

And there's a barrier between us I can’t surmount.

I’m torn by grief, 
        guilt 
        and pain.

You are out of my life, 
        and I am out of yours.
        And there is nothing I can do to fix it.

Everything in me lunges toward you, 
                but you’re not there.
I miss your love, 
        and I’m not ready to let you go.

How do I mend?

How do I heal?

How do I move on?

You were always the one to help me manage my life.
Now I have to manage without you.

We may no longer live within the same life-boundaries.
But at least I can start to search within me 
                for the love you left behind.

My wounds are fresh.
My soul is screaming.

But your love is still here.
And I will remember you, 
            forever.
