So long I have been without
Now that I have you back
I cannot seem to figure out
Whether I missed you or not.
At first I was cross
Everything turned to chaos
No longer my own boss
Without you I was lost.
Obliged to rearrange
Usual habits became strange
But slowly all that came to change
I celebrated with champagne.
When I deemed it impossible
That every day would be a battle
I found ways I never thought of
Greater than any I had walked before.
So long have I been without
Now that you are back
I keep on having setbacks
Still living as if I had to cut back.
So maybe when we get detached
It is not a time to miss what we had
The gap we get to fill when there is a hole
Better than what we had when we were whole.

So long I have been without
Now that I have you back
I cannot seem to figure out
Whether I missed you or not.
At first I was cross
Everything turned to chaos
No longer my own boss
Without you I was lost.
Obliged to rearrange
Usual habits became strange
But slowly all that came to change
I celebrated with champagne.
When I deemed it impossible
That every day would be a battle
I found ways I never thought of
Greater than any I had walked before.
So long have I been without
Now that you are back
I keep on having setbacks
Still living as if I had to cut back.
So maybe when we get detached
It is not a time to miss what we had
The gap we get to fill when there is a hole
Better than what we had when we were whole.
