Since You’re Gone 
Everything seems so much more important   
and so much more insignificant  
Everything has so much more meaning   
yet nothing makes any sense 

People seem so much more vulnerable   
yet I’ve never seen them so strong  

My heart feels so much emptier   
yet it has grown leaps and bounds  

Words escape me   
yet I cherish every one  

My memories seem to fade   
yet they intensify in color and clarity 

Tears burn greater and deeper   
yet I long for their precious pain 

Life seems less worth living   
yet its blessings shine all the more brightly  

This pain is a gift   
yet it is a burden 

These memories are a joy   
yet they stab at my heart 

Time manages to somehow ease the pain   
yet brings me further away from you 

The future seems daunting   
yet promising 

My mission here on Earth seems suddenly twofold   
yet I do not want this awesome responsibility 
.   
I am at the mercy of the universe   
yet yearn to take control 

My world has been thrown into a dizzying spin   
yet has come all the more into focus 

I long to be with you   
yet I know I must be patient 

I appreciate you more   
yet you are gone 

I love you more than ever   
but cannot tell you 

I miss you more than I thought possible   
and yet you shall never return.
