...

You're not here and it's not as if the world has stopped.

It goes on as before. I live as before.

I still smile, I still laugh, I still eat, I still listen to music,

I still write, as I do now.

But there's something missing.

It's not as if you were constantly present in my life.

It's not as if I spent every waking moment with you.

Oh, there were months when we didn't even see each other.

But at least I knew you were there, as did you.

But now you're not. And I am.

I still breathe, I still talk, I still smile.

I'd just smile a whole lot more if you were here.
