I get these waves,
I feel them gaining,
they wash over me
when I think of you
They hit me like a brick wall
stop me in my tracks
bringing with them
oceans of tears
memories of days gone by
heartache for not getting the chance
to know you
to have said goodbye
I still find myself
thinking maybe you're still here
walking the earth
but in a form I don't recognize
though I know somewhere
in the farthest part of my mind
you're too far away
unreachable,
unspeakable,
unseen
and it hurts,
till the wave breaks
and I can push it
far enough away
to go on living without you
day, after excruciating day.
