Emptiness

I sit here with emptiness beside me

there's not a day I don't think of him.

I was so grateful for him loving me,

that through it all, I lost myself.

He's been gone for a long time now,

yet even to this day I'm still not back.

It crosses my mind each and every day,

"Why did he leave me? Was it for some girl?"

Maybe if I had treated him better,

or if I would have done more for him.

I don't know what more I could've done,

I still feel I'm to blame for him leaving.

So I sit here with emptiness beside me,

not a day goes by he isn't on my mind.

There's hope in my heart he'll return,

even if it wasn't to me, I'll feel whole again.

He was my best friend and my old lover,

but forever in my heart, he's my soul mate.
