I got lost in an old familiar song;
The clips in my mind were of us singing
Mary J’s, Be Without You;
I heard her voice, but I saw you lip
Syncing the words to me in the back seat of the car.

I’ve never laughed or loved so hard, I’ve
Never wanted something so badly, yet felt the
Need to escape it, just as intensely.
It’s funny how our minds recall what our
Hearts work to forget.

There was always warmth in your eyes for me;
Unspoken moments when volumes were said.
You knew me deeper than anyone ever has,
You loved me more than anyone else has ever tried to.
And sometimes, I find it hard to be without you.

You left a hole that no one can fill, a
Void that I won’t let anyone near…I
Still defend you like a faithful lover, even
Though you’re no longer here.

Although I know I’m better off where I am
I still have moments when the memories of our
Lazy Sundays in bed, our electric looks across a room
And the laughter that we shared makes it so **** hard
To be without you
