Gone! <br />I had been gone, <br />So long. <br />I didn't know it... <br />Until it dawned on me, <br />Never there will be... <br />Another 'we'. <br />For us to see, <br />Again. <br /> <br />Gone! <br />You left, <br />And I went on. <br />Wondering if I... <br />Should have tried harder, <br />To show <br />My love much more. <br />Now that it seems <br />You have <br />Even the score. <br /> <br />It will never be the same without you near. <br />I want to hear you, <br />Say it's me you need too! <br /> <br />The atmosphere <br />Is not fresh or clear. <br />Your smile lit the room. <br />I want it to light, <br />This gloom <br />From my sight. <br />But, <br />You are <br />Gone! <br /> <br />I wish my heart I could pawn. <br />I don't need it beating, <br />A beat. <br />I have no place to keep it, <br />Since <br />You're gone. <br />And I can't ignore... <br />I was wrong! <br /> <br />I'll never have what you gave in the past. <br />Now I'll hunger forever, <br />That 'us' we had together. <br />But you... <br />And I are, <br />Gone! <br /> <br />I had been gone, <br />So long. <br />I didn't know it... <br />Until, <br />It dawned on me. <br />Never will there be... <br />Another 'we' <br />I need to love so desperately.<br /><br />Lawrence S.
