A Me Without A You

Days go by

And I think of you

It hurts my head,

And it hurts my lungs,



To think that you're

Breathing without me.



---------



I see you often

You walk and talk and smile

There's a better place

That you'd rather be



And in that place,

There is no me.



---------



We can talk and

We share things we know

Meet new people

And catch up with friends



But it's never truly

Just you and me.



---------



I want my heart

To kick-start again

But there's so many things

That keeps it frozen



Won't you ever

Come and defrost me?



---------



Yet whenever I'm alone

And I see and think

And feel all by myself.



So maybe all I truly need

Is no one else but me.



---------



Did ever such a thought

Come to your mind?

Maybe we're not meant

To walk side by side?



Perhaps one day you'll see

A truly unfettered me.



---------



But until then

I'll let days go by

And I'll still think of you

Of the laughs we can share



Until I become alone again,

With your memories drowning me.
