I thought of you today. <br />I thought of you and ran away. <br />Away from the pain, <br />away from the tears. <br />The emptiness you've left inside me. <br />So cold and alone. <br />Lost and confused. <br />Why are you gone? <br />Taken from me. <br />Pictures bring tears and memories. <br />Memories. <br />Memories? <br />You were right there. <br />Where are you now? <br />Gone? <br />You can't be. <br />How can it be true? <br />I just saw you. <br />Your smile <br />Your laugh <br />I heard your voice. <br />You were within reach. <br />You were right there. <br />Right there. <br />Right there! <br />Why aren't you there anymore? <br />I need you here. <br />Please? <br />Why are you gone? <br />How can you be gone? <br />How? <br />Where did you go? <br />Where?<br /><br />Temperance Joy<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/you-were-right-there/
