It had been so long since I last saw it. Were you truly gone? There is a gaping hole in my heart, where your light would have made me whole.My body is weary, searching for even just a mere trace of you.

“No shining lights anywhere

This emptiness in tears”

I cannot see clearly through this anguish. Can I escape this sadness at all? I know that I should move on, but my mind is trapped in its memories of you.

I think about those words you gave to me before you took your final breath.

“But now I am here, and you’re close to me

My heart is with you, forever and ever”

Those words, though you uttered them so sweetly, were for naught. But I will still cherish them dearly.

I cannot bear to linger on this false hope that I’ve created that you are not truly gone. I will finally calm my turbulent thoughts and rest my fatigued soul, letting myself recall those lost memories fondly…

“At last the longest night has gone and brought in light

I felt myself melt in the morning light…”
