How can I sit waiting for someone I know wont return? The love I felt for you is gone, however, not the burn. I used to wait, cry and yearn To hold you in my arms and I in yours. But now that's gone. Oh, how I never wonder how it would be, if I were still with you and you with me. Still crying, waiting, would I be this blue? I feel like half the person I did when when I was with you, Yet I've grown to love myself too. I don't cry often over you no more. But my heart's, still sore, When we said our goodbyes, A kiss on my lips that never happened. The soft good bye that was the day you left I never wanted you to go, and I missed you so. You still message me, every now and again. I pretend it doesn't hurt, I lost you to the strain Of distance between our bodies, But never between our hearts. How long can you love a person who isn't there? How long does the pain stay? How  long will I stay this blue? Heartache, heartbreak. I thought I was over you. How long will you affect me? I don't wonder of our future. Yet I sit hear writing this poem... Why?
