| Did
You Know? Did you know that when you left, you took away more than just yourself? Along with you went my smile, and since then the laughter has died from my lips. Did you know that when you left, you took the sunshine from my world? All the warmth that used to be there seemed to have gone with you. Now all that is left is a cold emptiness that only your presence can fill. Did you know that since you left, my world has turned gray? It is hard to face each day, knowing you are not here with me. Sometimes I close my eyes, and I can still feel the warmth of your body as you held me in your arms. Your kisses still softly linger on my lips, and my face still yearns for the gentle caress of your fingertips. Did you know that without you, it is hard for me to feel happiness, that I mostly feel sadness? Could you guess? Could you tell? Maybe you knew. But you do not know that I would not feel all this if, when you left, you had not taken my heart with you. --December 14, 1999 |
Reflection
Everyday I pass the mirror, but today I pause and stare. The face that looks back is mine, yet the eyes don't smile like other times. I can't believe what I see. Can that forlorn reflection be me? I can remember when my eyes smiled with the happiness of a little child. I remember how I used to laugh, but all that is now in the past. When you left, a part of me died. I can remember how much I cried. You were so afraid that I would go, and you made me promised to stay, but in the end, it was you who went away. Now I'm left all by myself, feeling lost and alone without you. My mind keeps screaming, "What do I do?" But deep inside I already know. The only thing is to let you go. I must learn to be happy all over again, learn to smile and laugh through my pain. It's "goodbye" I must say, though I miss you more and more each day. --April 2, 2000 |
