I once thought I knew all I needed to know <br />But like so many times before I was wrong <br />Now I'm wondering how, is there any way at all, that I could ever learn to live without you <br /> <br />At first, I didn't know if I could <br />You were my love, my confidant, my friend <br />Our two lives so close they were one <br />I felt like half of me was missing <br /> <br />Things that before seemed so right <br />Lost their happiness and became wrong <br />Your side of the bed mirrored my emptiness <br />But I could still feel you next to me <br /> <br />I've lost love before, but never one like this <br />The kind of love you think will last forever <br />But forever, especially when it comes to love <br />Is only a word and never a reality <br /> <br />I didn't think I could, but I am <br />Living without the one I couldn't live without <br />And every day, I'm learning it gets easier <br />Till I have finally gotten over you<br /><br />Harry J.
