Because I have lost
The world turns

Because I have lost
I am marked like Cain
Conversations stop mid flow

Because I have lost
I love like Claudio; With a warriors eye

Cost and effect
How much will it hurt when I lose you?

Because I have lost
I live with the knowledge
I have already had the happiest day of my life

Nothing will be pure again,
I will always long for the person who isn't there

Time does not heal
Time numbs

Until a smell
Until a photo
Until a half remembered joke
Until someone smokes the cigarettes you smoked
Until a song comes on that we sang

Until I remember what I'm missing
