I reach out to touch you,
but you aren't there,
I glance up to meet your smiley gaze,
and grope in darkness, mind in a haze,
you're really not there.
I will never touch you,
or look into your eyes,
enwrapped in your warming presence,
I will never feel your tender essence.
Iwill hold you forever in my heart,
but never in my arms.
And our story is gone too.
All the truth I never told you.
There is no truth, only life,
only a life of unending strife.
I reach out to touch you,
I grasp in desparation,
you really aren't there,
and all that's left are my tears,
that will flow forever, beyond the grave,
into eternity.
Your sweet smile,
Your lively laugh,
your valentine voice,
your heavy steps,
your humbly arrogant attitude,
your wonderful ways,
gone.
You really are gone.
