When I Know

I didn't realize it till lately

You live every time in me... 

Your words are now a solace

For me to breathe in your absence... 

I picture your face every day. 

Everything and in every being, 

The strings that tied us is breaking 

me into infinite pieces of living dead. 

With every shooting star, 

Wishes I skip, for you ain't here, 

Sad and distant the sky feels tonight, 

And the ground can't hold my weight. 

Finding meaning in simple things 

Screaming thoughts deep within, 

Stranded I wait on the place we met, 

When I know you will never come.
