the past isn't just the past
it's all I've left behind
every word and every moment
forever, painfully, engraved in my mind.
he is left in my youth,
a loved one come and gone.
I loved him is the truth
and his dark features had me drawn.
he joked and had cheats
but I spent each second
as though he'd never leave.
every second away from you
somehow feels like an hour
and every hour, now an eternity
I'd give up every eternity
for one more second with you.
