In the Middle of the Road

I am standing here
In the middle of the road
Watching the spot where you disappeared
Watching the spot where you aren't anymore.
I am standing here
In the middle of the road
Listening to your voice echo in my head
Listening to a voice I won't hear anymore.
I am standing here
In the middle of the road
Touching the spot on my cheek you used to kiss
Touching the spot on my cheek that won't be kissed anymore.
I am standing here
In the middle of the road
Remembering the memories we shared
The memories that won't have brothers and sisters anymore.
I am standing here
In the middle of the road
Alone.
