I'm so sorry that I didn't say goodbye

I'm so sorry baby, that I didn't explain why

Why I left you

Why it was so out of the blue

Just know it's me not you

The months dragged on,
As did my thoughts,
It was grueling to ignore
The growing holes in my heart.
The emptiness was forming,
Hollowing my insides,
Picking up the pieces,
None of them fit right.
The searching continues,
To make the world less blue,
But nothing fills my void,
Nothing else except you.

I was walking one morning
And passed an elder man
Who paused for a moment
And stopped me in my tracks

I turned to look at the man
Who I've never seen before
And I waited until he finally said
"You gotta smile more."
