Not An Answer

You've forgotten the evenings I spent with you
The mornings I sang with you
The nights I slept with you by my side
I remember all these moments
All these pieces of memory

You think I've forgotten
How it feels to touch you
To taste you
To laugh and cry with you
How it feels to be enough

I've never once forgotten
Not for a moment
Not for a second
But I'm spacing the memories
Leaving distance in between
You fear it's the end

I'm not being unfair
Just trying to cope
We both have diseases
Things people bat their eyes to
Turn a cold shoulder to

But I've always known you
As I know you know me
We are one and the same
I just got a head start
I'm waiting for you

Time and circumstance
They separate us
I am not trying
To leave you behind
I'm trying to save my life

There are pieces that are missing
Voids that are not yet filled
They cannot be fulfilled
By any other
Than you

I love you
I need you
And I'm trying the best
I know how
I'm sorry that

I failed you
