...

Loneliness

being alone

I've tasted it at its sweetest

at its bitterest

but nothing could match this hole in my heart

they say that missing someone

is your hearts way of reminding you

that you love them

if this is true

I've never loved anyone

as much as i love you

this ache that consumes me

shows how much I've come to love you

your presence gone from my side

my hand left empty

your scent no longer lingers near me

how is it that at one time

i could last on my own

without any real ties

to hold me down

but now i catch myself looking over my shoulder

looking for you

there's so much I've gone through

moments i wanted to share with you

But every time i looked

you weren't there

you've become my weakness

but if weak is what i am

then why do i feel strongest with you by me

you pass through my mind every day

all day

how could a one time stranger

affect me in this way

how could someone make me this happy

how their happiness can become mine too

i guess you could call me a fool

wanting something every one is telling me is not going to last

thats not real

but im gonna try

i will always be there for you

i guess being alone

has taught me how to love

and love in a way that i never thought possible

i won't ask

for forever

because forever is a hell of a lot to give

but i promise all i have to you

even if its not much to give

i give it to you
