I loved you more in your absence Than I ever did in your presence I learned to love you in moderation And not give in to my obsession And whereas I only felt limited happiness Never fulfilled, never content Always craving more and more I now struggle tirelessly within a dark void of emptiness to hold on to even just a vision of you. I miss you dearly, and I spent every waking, and slumbering moment thinking of you, in happiness, in sorrow, in regret. When you were still here, you were my purpose, you were what made life bearable and worth looking forward to. Now that you are gone, I still remain, not for my longing of this world. But, because I am afraid one day, if and when the world turns its back on you, there is still a speckle of light wanting to light up your entire world.
