It has been years since we have been apart,
But you will always live in me.
I wish we could go back and restart.
A sad smile and a broken heart,
Like the old branches of a tree.
It has been years since we have been apart.
I do not have words to start,
The clock strikes twelve thirty three.
I wish we could go back and restart.
I seek solace in art,
I hope it can set me free.
It has been years since we have been apart.
We are now miles apart,
Your face is what I wish to see.
I wish we could go back and restart.
I sit in my room with our to-do chart,
And you are not next to me.
It has been years since we have been apart.
I wish we could go back and restart.

I have been trying to learn this style of poetry, Villanelle. Let it be grey was one such attempt and this is another one. I hope you like it.
